CREOLE JAMBALAYA



Creole Jambalaya image

This Creole jambalaya recipe adapted from Picayune's Creole Cook Book interestingly states no tomatoes to be added, a divergence from today's standards of what makes a Creole jambalaya. The meat is strictly pork, although it's suggested veal brisket can also be used instead. There are no vegetables, except for the onions, and the dish is generously seasoned with a variety of spices and herbs.

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb. smoked ham (cubed)
1/2 lb. chaurice* (hot sausage cut in pieces)
1/2 lb. smoked sausage (cut in 1/2-inch slices)
1 cup chopped onions
3 cups uncooked rice
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/2 tsp. paprika
1 tbsp. chopped parsley
1 tsp. ground thyme
1 tsp. chopped garlic
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 bay leaf
1 lb. shrimp (peeled and deveined)
4 cups boiling water

Steps:

  • Place ham, sausages, and onions in 3-quart saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat until onions are soft. No need to add any oil as the meat will provide enough fat for cooking. Add rice and stir well. Add all other ingredients. Bring to a boil. Let boil for 5 minutes. Lower heat. Cover pot tightly and let cook slowly for 35 minutes or until rice is tender. With a fork, fluff rice up, mixing sausages well.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice: A long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, is best for jambalaya. It will absorb the flavors of the other ingredients without becoming mushy.
  • Don't overcook the rice: Rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will make the jambalaya gummy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Jambalaya is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Bell peppers, onions, celery, and tomatoes are all classic additions, but you can also add other vegetables, such as okra, corn, or zucchini.
  • Don't skimp on the seasonings: Creole seasoning is a key ingredient in jambalaya. It adds a savory, spicy flavor to the dish. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic, paprika, or cayenne pepper, to taste.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your jambalaya. Use a flavorful broth, such as chicken or vegetable broth. You can also use water, but the jambalaya will not be as flavorful.
  • Cook the jambalaya in a Dutch oven or a large pot: A Dutch oven or a large pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the jambalaya from burning.
  • Let the jambalaya rest before serving: Letting the jambalaya rest for a few minutes before serving will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Jambalaya is a delicious and versatile dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. With its bold flavors and hearty ingredients, jambalaya is a perfect meal for any occasion. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish for a party, jambalaya is sure to be a hit.
