I love that he takes a bite "HOT!" and a few seconds later takes another bite "HOT!" .. Then says, "Only an idiot would do that twice". Made me laugh way too hard
The most fundamental concept in cooking to do with hot (in terms f temperature) food is that you need to let it cool down before eating, otherwise, you will not be able to taste everything properly, not to mention burning your tongue. How can I trust a dumbass who shovels piping hot results into his mouth?
So I made this last night at my boyfriends because surprisingly he had everything but some celery. It turned out so good!!! I make gumbo all of the time but I’ve never made jambalaya before but it is a very similar process. It made together really fast. I have a 12inch cast iron skillet and I made everything it that. I love that it is a one pan dish as well. I added shrimp in mine and I cooked that hand and then the step where you add the butter, that’s when i folded in the shrimp as well. The only reason i did the shrimp separate was because i didnt want them to over cook. I didn’t follow the recipe to a T because I didnt measure everything out but I mostly just eyeballed everything to what i though he said, but again it came out AMAZING!!! Great easy simple recipe
I made this for dinner tonight to the EXACT specifications. Only thing was they were out of red bell peppers at the store, so I used orange. It was spectacular. It's amazing how much flavor the Cajun version has without tomato. Anywho, I give Isaac big props and he has my appreciation for this recipe.
"Ah said- Ah said- Ah said, boy- lemme tell you, Ah said boy- our Uruguayan Air Force plane had crashed, boy, in the Andes, and it was the only way we could survive..."
Issac: have been watching you and your career since Top Chef. Made this jambalaya yesterday for Sunday dinner. Your instructions for the roux were spot on (though I used quinoa flour instead): constant stirring and nice dark roux. Also, I was stunned at how good the gravy smelled after that one hour (or maybe 1:15) of simmering. Then you add the andouille and chicken ... holy cow. My kids (11 and 15) had never had this before and they loved it. Very, very glad I made it. Thank you for your help! Cook-on, Chef!
You say sausage like my dad and grandad. This food is the best part of being raised in the south. Every good memory I have involved food and cooking with my family.
First thing I thought when I saw this foo was “ Ima click the video and this dude is ganna be wilding off top” this dude already juggling shit first seconds of the video haha
This is the most straight forward recipe, I made it and loved how it came out . I'm not afraid of making roux anymore, got splashed some on my arm, didn't realize it bubbled up but totally worth it👍🏽👍🏽
Issac Toups is my spirit animal. Having loved almost every state in the south, this guy reps his home and many like it, like no other. Also, don't piss him off or be a cutting board.
Why is Jason's slash harder if the cabin is full of naked teens? That's who he kills, yes, but he only wishes to kill them. Not much force is needed to kill someone with a knife. This is just a bad joke, man. Slicing instead of smashing, premise doesn't make sense, it's just all over the place.
@@Rogan_Dorn I bet you're even more so. Your sense of humor just oozes creativity. So complex and unpredictable. I'm still grappling with the implications of what you just said. It's the single most profound joke I've heard.
Made this a couple of nights ago. First time trying this recipe, was quite nervous because of the roux bit. I needn't have worried. It's genuinely one of the best-tasting things I ever cooked - this recipe is lush. Highly recommended. My dad doesn't eat pork, so I replaced the andouille with Turkish sucuk from our local market. Still tasted awesome.
Toups Meatery is one of many reasons to get out of the French Quarter when you visit NOLA. Chef Toups a great guy who makes fabulous food. Open on Mondays and Tuesdays. A personal favorite.
Respect for the Emeril shout out. I spent my childhood watching that man cook and he's a big reason I can cook as well as I do. Anything this man Issac cooks is gonna be good.
I'm slightly OCD so I have yet to burn my roux. When I learned how to make one, my cousin who taught me said if I burnt it Grandmama would come back from the grave and tan my hide! LOL Love that Cajun humor! My dad's people are all Cajuns from S. Louisiana. I'll be making this.
Considering he said you shouldn't make a brown roux with butter because it "burns" no you just gotta know how to cook it which a "top chef" should ne able to do.
@@TheRedChannel1 black roux... the roux for gumbo and jambalaya is a black roux. And he's right, you can't make it with unclarified butter because it will burn and leave a bad taste in the final product. You could clarify the butter and skim the milk fats and water. Then the butter has a higher smoke point, never tried this for black roux, though
Top tip: the low and slow method of making dark roux is not just for beginners. It also produces a higher quality roux. The problem with high heat roux is that it will be unevenly cooked 100% of the time, I don't care if you're the most skilled chef or fastes roux-stirrer in Louisiana (you can actually see this clearly at 2:56). The color still looks fine because once stirred, you end up with a mosaic of too-dark and too-light flour and so it evens out visually but not flavorwise. Low and slow means each grain of flour is as equally browned as any other, meaning you have maximized browning. As we all know, browning = flavor. You do the rest of the math on that :)
I made this last night and it was so good. I never made Jambalaya before and was a bit skeptical of this recipe at first since every recipe I looked up had a lot of seasonings and this recipe didn't really use any. But I tried this recipe because is looked good and was very simple. Was a winner. So simple and delicious. Thanks for the video and recipe.
I'm not trusting a roux for jambalaya (we always make chicken & sausage) or green onions and butter, but your energy is so awesome that I guess I'll have to try.
Isaac. My dude. This is now the definitive recipe for Jambalaya in my family. I make it like 4-5 times a year. I watch the recipe every damned time too because I never remember how much stock or rice to use. It's incredible every time. Thanks for bring the South to South Jersey!

I've made this twice before and let me tell you, it's f@#$ing good! Like he says "don't be scared or the roux". I've never made a hot and fast roux, but I tried it and I won't go back to the low and slow. Saves so much time.

''Always be gentle with the garlic"
*makes a hole the size of the knife to the other side of the earth while wacking it*
This recipe is just fantastic. I make it all the time, and between myself and my roommates the leftovers never last long!
If this chef doesn't have his own cooking show, well he damn well should have. Entertaining, fun and educational. He makes it look easy (I'm sure it's not).
