Alright, so the car show was yesterday and it was a long day. I hate it when I have a system set and some show up to help meaning well but really end up getting in the way. Lol...... I got things started with browning the beef for the jambalaya but not before almost starting with the sausage so the picture below has a little sausage mixed in there. Then the 18 lbs of hot and smoked sausage was browned and removed. (sorry but I had a lot going on and was only able to get a few pictures) Sausage cooked and removed it was time to do the onions and garlic added toward the end of that. When onion were cooked in went the tasso and my spices. After that was mixed in well the chicken was added and sausage added back in allong with chicken stock and brought to a boil then the rice added. After returning to a boil again the fire was reduced to low, lid placed on to simmer until done.
Beef cooking.
Onions cooked down with the tasso and spices added.
Chicken and sausage added and waiting to return to a boil.
Completed jambalaya!
This was for me one of the best I've ever made with lots of meats and flavor but it was a tad spicier than I intended it to be for others but then again I got tons of compliments from people saying how it was THE best jambalaya they had ever eaten. I couldn't help but still feel it would have been better for them had it not been as spicy but then again I think it might have helped the beer sales. Lol.........
