Corn bread makes a nice accompaniment to round out this one-dish, Cajun-inspired meal. Andouille sausage is a bit spicy. If you prefer a milder flavor, substitute regular chicken, turkey, or pork sausage.
I made this with some modifications-I chopped the onions and used a garlic press, used a full teaspoon of slap yo momma cajun spice, and used a small can of tomato paste. I followed the recipe as written for the rest and this was spicy and delicious.
This jambalaya was bland bland bland. I added more seasonings and spice, but it couldn't be saved. I put leftovers in the fridge, but I have a feeling they will wind up in the trash.
this was our new year's black-eyed pea dish. i put in a few extra cups of chicken broth and cooked rice with the dish for 15 mins. it was very good and very easy!
Excellent recipe that developed flavor in terms of the refrigerator leftovers. I used boil-in-bag brown rice and loved it. I'll probably just cook the brown rice now that I know the yield of the prepackaged rice. Freezes well for lunches in the office.
This recipe was good...but I agree with some other reviewers that it was lacking a little flavor. The second time I cooked it, I added 1 tsp. of dried thyme, 1/2 tsp. oregano, and about an extra 1/4 tsp. of cajun seasoning. I had the no-salt cajun seasoning, but I think it did need a little salt at the end, so I would add maybe 1/4 or 1/8 tsp. of salt next time. The extra spices really did help the flavor a lot!
