Azazello1313 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 sounds pretty good. can't say I've ever really heard of serving creole over jambalaya, but it sounds like a decent enough idea, really. the main thing with jambalaya in my experience is DO NOT F*CKING STIR IT once the rice starts cooking. check it from time to time and add fluid if you must, but don't stir it. your rice will be all mushy and crappy, but still undercooked inside. I saw even the great bobby flay make this mistake when he did jambalaya on his "throwdown" show. jambalaya is the only episode I've seen where bobby got thoroughly and completely destroyed by the guy he was challenging.

I thought the same thing, but the creole sauce has a nice bright tomato taste that compliments the darkness of the jambalaya very nicely. You're right about not stirring things once you add the rice. It'ts just like making rice from scratch, once you bring it to a boil, put the lid on, turn down the heat and wait until it's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big F'n Dave Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 A proper jambalaya requires no sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the sushi episode. Tex-mex cook from NYC taking on a sushi expert? Ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowboutthemCowboys Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Check out the sushi episode. Tex-mex cook from NYC taking on a sushi expert? Ugly. Saw that. I'm sure he's making mucho dinero, but I think it takes balls to do some of those episodes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 A proper jambalaya requires no sauce. Yup. But hey, the creole sauce could still be tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like you don't "need" pants, but it's still nice to put them on occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perchoutofwater Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I love classic Jambalaya, and have some coonass relatives that will come to town and cook up a 20 gallons for a party once a year. I've also got a MIL that is part coonass and she's been doing creole thing forever, and it is very good. Another variation I really like is substituting past for the rice. It gives it a slightly different taste and texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
