I have never made Jambalaya before. It doesn’t seem hard, but it does seem hard to get right! It seems like you should only cook Jambalaya if you are using a recipe passed down through generations of Creole women. Unfortunately, I can’t get the husband’s Louisianan(?) boss to write down her recipe for Jambalaya and I was getting impatient. So this is what I cobbled together through conversations with her and a little bit of trial and error.
