CREOLE JAMBALAYA
Jambalaya is a traditional Louisiana dish, coming from our Spanish and French culture. Rice is the main ingredient, with different meats or seafood mixed in. I particularly like this variation with shrimp and ham. -Ruby Williams, Bogalusa, Louisiana

CREOLE JAMBALAYA FROM BON APPETIT
I'm looking forward to preparing this jambalaya. It's quite a bit different than other I've made and looks like it will be pretty easy to prepared. This recipe calls for fresh, pure pork sausage, removed from casing. I will be using Kielbasa or Polish Sausage. NOTE: Times noted are a guesstimation since I have not made this recipe as yet.

CREOLE JAMBALAYA
I've been to New Orleans a couple of times and absolutely loved jambalaya. Here is a version from the Napoleon House in the French Quarter. If you cannot find Anouille sausage, just subsitute another spicy sausage.

CREOLE JAMBALAYA
Adapted from Chicago's famed House of Blues version of Jambalaya, this one takes less time, but doesn't skimp on BIG BAYOU flavor! It is one dish I am repeatedly asked to make. The great thing is you can throw in any number of meats and seafood that you have on hand, and leave one out if you want--any combination still tastes delicious! Have plenty of ice-cold beer on hand, you're gonna need it!
