We have another guy who will have a large pot of jambalaya ready by 10. Should be plenty to eat both before & after depending on preference

Someone help this couyon out. I’ve actually never made jambalaya, what’s the ratio for liquid to rice so it’s not mushy?

I use the John folse recipe. Super easy to scale as big as you want. Bourque’s hot pork smoked sausage is the key ingredient imho

If you have not attempted a jambalaya before, your best bet would be to cook the rice separate from the meat and vegies and them combine in the end....kind of like a rice dressing. This method does not produce the best taste, but it is better than hard rice, or worse burnt rice.

If you cook the rice separate that is not a jambalaya that is a rice and gravy. Rice cooking in the pot is what makes it a jambalaya.
