![]() Alright, so just found out a couple of days ago that the OFFICIAL Jambaaya Fest was this weekend in Gonzales LA. Funny because all this week I had planned to make a jambalaya here at home this weekend. So I decided to use my small 5 gal. cast iron jambalaya rig and cook outside and have my own Jambalaya Fest. Cold beer included! Yeah this looks like a bunch of jambalaya but it won't last. Especially since I share it with friends and relatives. Started out with cooking some homemade bacon and a cold beer. This wasn't one of my favorites but it was given to me as a birthday variety of beer. Kind of tasted like soap. Lol....... ![]() Here's the setup I used. ![]() That bacon smelled soooo..... good! ![]() Bacon done I removed it and browned/cooked the pork which was a couple or two or three pounds of pork loin(I know the butt is better but this was from a whole pork loin I had to cook). I also cooked down the sausage a bit(no picture)and remove that to cook down the onions. Added some diced tasso to allow that flavor to dispearse throughout the stock ![]() Sweating down the onions and added two cans of Rotel. I KNOW! No Tomatoes according to many but believe me this gives it a nice kick. ![]() Pork stock was added and my seasonings. ![]() Let that come to a light boil and then added the chicken. I smoked the chicken thighs to a temp of about 150* and removed them, let cool and cut into nice chunks. ![]() Again let that come to a light boil and then added the pork and sausage. ![]() Again let the temp come up to a light boil and added the rice. ![]() Thirty five minutes later it was done! ![]() I like to get a little meat in every bite when I make jambalaya. ![]() |

I use Rotel when I make a shrimp and salt meat jambalaya. I pass it through the gyrator first, that's what my coonass buddy calls the food processor when he's drunk.

Looks great!........I am more a die hard being just from Ascension parish.....but I can eat anything good.
Just gave my future son in law 2 gallon from Krazy Kajun that I did some grinding on and got it nice and smooth......It's a round bottom with legs.......Jamb is so much easier with a round bottom. |
