CREOLE JAMBALAYA
Jambalaya is a traditional Louisiana dish, coming from our Spanish and French culture. Rice is the main ingredient, with different meats or seafood mixed in. I particularly like this variation with shrimp and ham. -Ruby Williams, Bogalusa, Louisiana

CREOLE JAMBALAYA
This Creole jambalaya recipe adapted from Picayune's Creole Cook Book interestingly states no tomatoes to be added, a divergence from today's standards of what makes a Creole jambalaya. The meat is strictly pork, although it's suggested veal brisket can also be used instead. There are no vegetables, except for the onions, and the dish is generously seasoned with a variety of spices and herbs.

CREOLE-STYLE VEGETARIAN JAMBALAYA
This is a pretty good recipe and using eggplant in this dish is a good idea. This dish has lots of room for you to improvise and create your own jambalaya. This recipe is Creole-style, with a tomato base, but you may omit the tomato paste and tomatoes if you want country-style jambalaya. Serve with a salad and ice cold beer.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and make the cooking process go more smoothly.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your jambalaya. Use fresh vegetables, seafood, and meat, and choose flavorful spices.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding ingredients to the pot, do it in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pot. This will help the ingredients cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Cook the rice separately: For the best results, cook the rice separately from the other ingredients. This will help prevent the rice from becoming mushy and will allow it to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
- Season to taste: Taste the jambalaya as you cook and adjust the seasonings as needed. Creole jambalaya is typically seasoned with a variety of spices, so don't be afraid to experiment until you find a flavor combination that you enjoy.
Conclusion:
Creole jambalaya is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a party or potluck. It is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients, so you can easily customize it to your own taste. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a delicious pot of Creole jambalaya that will impress your friends and family.
