Left-Over Pork Roast Jambalaya image

I wanted to make something special out of my left-over pork roast and improvised on a Jambalaya recipe I had used from a Simple and Delicious magazine - the family loved the results. This is not a spicy dish as I had toddlers eating it too but it could very easily be spiced up.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my jambalaya turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the rice.
