Hay!!!!! This is a great recipe. Printed it out to try. Thanks


Good recipe. It has the trinity in it bells, onions, celery, which is a must. For those who live in far away lands and are deprived of Creole seasoning I have a salt free seasoning on my page which would work in this recipe. Actually jambayala is Creole, introduced by the Spanish in 1770 to substitute for their Paella and they had to change the ingredients to what was on hand. The Africans contributd the rice or ya-ya. And the French renamed it Jambon a la Yaya, meaning ham with rice. Just a little bit of history. No charge.


That sounds like some goooooood jambalaya...and the history lesson was great, too, chefjeb!


I have just the ingredients to make this! Just what I've been craving.


Sounds great. I have a question, the ingredients read "cooked rice", the directions say "cook until rice is done", do I add cooked or uncooked rice? Thanks
