Just found your channel. I've been desperately trying to find recipes like my grandma makes them, and you've got them all. I'll have to try this recipe next week.
I just put this on youtube. A recipe that I've been using for probably 30 yrs. TOO COOL! (I know who you learned from. 😁) If anyone comes after this comment, this is the best Jambalaya recipe that you can find. Trust me. (Louisiana raised)
I have not had Creole Jambalaya for many years since I was a child. I normally eat the Cajun version. I will definitely have to try this recipe. This looks amazing! Thanks for posting!
Looks great! I’ve never made jambalaya in the oven before seems like a good plan. Tasso jambalaya is the best! I made some tasso jambalaya Monday night during the Saints game. Getting video ready for Friday. Yours looked good. I grew up with creole style “red” but I prefer the Cajun “Brown” jambalaya. Glad I found your channel excellent work.
Believe it or not i went from cooking scrambled eggs "the only thing i knew how to cook" to cooking up many cajun recipes after i stumbled upon your page thanks cajun chef my family is tripping out that i can cook up good cajun food now, Especially my grandma who grew up in Louisiana✌
My mouth was watering ALL THE WAY THROUGH THIS VIDEO. I've been meaning to find a way to make it so loved the detail given in this video, but will be swapping the meats for a halal version for my own needs. Thank you for the great vid
This is my introduction to Creole jambalaya. I’m very familiar with the Cajun version and cook it frequently. I cook Southern and consider Cajun and Southern cuisines cousins. 🤣 New subscriber here.
By far the best jambalaya ever. Better than any restaurant. Can someone help me with something; if I double up on this recipe for a party, do I still put it in the over for one hour, or two hours since it's double?
I would think the same amout of time should be good but you may want to add 15 to 20 minutes longer in the oven. You could use parboiled rice instead or regular rice as it tends to be more forgiving.
I just made this for our family and must tell you it was amazing only thing I added was andouille sausage to the recipe. It was definitely delicious thanks for sharing the recipe
Thats amazing. I will think they will LOVE it!. Just an FYI, I'm coming out with a cookbook. It will have tons of great recipes that you will be able to share. kck.st/2SXjc54
This was a great recipe, only thing I changed was since I don't like celery is I didn't use that and I added mushrooms. But excellent dish thanks much this has been added to my favorite dishes I make now!
Krystyn Scrbic I agree, the tomato does definitely give it something special. I grew up on the Cajun version but this Jambalaya is probably the best I've tasted!
I've had both and I prefer the Creole version much better because it has more flavor and moisture. I'm not a fan of dry jambalaya. I like your channel Cajun chef.
You really shouldn't use a metal spoon when you cook in a cast iron pot. You'll get some nasty scratches in it and it'll be ruined. Also, I don't remember it being moist. Maybe I'm thinking of the rice being cooked separately. I want to try and make this, I'm afraid I'll get stuck having to eat it all myself. lol
Jayeff El You seem to have some problems. Cast iron pots have been stirred with metal spoons for a LONG time.They were not ruined. Most everything in an iron pots is moist,AND LASTLY,WHATS SO BAD ABOUT EATING IT ALL YOURSELF? DON'T YOU HAVE A FREEZER? FRIENDS? FAMILY? NEIGHBORS? GET A LIFE!
+Dawn Creel I really apologize about that, I must have pasted an incorrect link. I will fix this link. Can you click subscribe under my channel? That will work. I appreciate you pointing that out to me, I will have it fixed when I get back into town.
You do not cook meats together, all meat. Has to be cooked separately. Then veg., then season, then water, then rice. Cove and 45 to one hour. CHEFT C J Abear. Over 50 years doing this.
To get the meat to brown right, and get best out of each type of meat Goes all back after veg are put in, and little broth is put in and brought to boil, put meat back in, rest of broth ,then.rice, bring back up to boil and stire. Boil five to ten minutes, than cover, lid on fire on very low cover for 45 min. True Cajun.
Creole also has a strong Spanish influence, a melting pot of sorts. Not just African. Most of the dishes prepared in these areas were heavily influenced by the availability of ingredients.
I think you're getting TABLEspoons confused with TEAspoons. Your measuring instrument is CLEARLY a TABLESPOON, but you keep saying TEASPOON. HUGE DIFFERENCE.
You know what's funny, this jambalaya is only a slightly modified version directly from the Paul Prudhomme cookbook lol. A chef idolized in the New Orleans area. So there is that
I've made this jambalaya at least a doz times in the past two years and it keeps getting better and better.
That is so awesome to hear! Thanks so much

Awesome! I'm glad you liked the recipe
If I wanted to incorporate shrimp, at what point would I add it? Thank you, I can't wait to try it.
I would try adding it about 20 minutes before it's done. just stir it in and let it finish

How many main course servings does this make?
I would say 6 to 8. It does make quite a bit. May be more 8 depending on the portion size
You're cooking it very similar to the way Africans cook jollof rice. It looks delicious!
Really? I did not know that. Thanks for that bit of information. I will look into that.
Good job specktak i would have covered the pot before putting in oven but thats just me.
Looks sooo good I wish I ate pork
you can always make it with chicken and shrimp!
This was a great recipe, only thing I changed was since I don't like celery is I didn't use that and I added mushrooms. But excellent dish thanks much this has been added to my favorite dishes I make now!
Looks awesome. gotta try it. But get you a wooden spoon. metal is not good on cast iron.
+Tommy Roberts Thanks Tommy!
Hey man 🥘 could beer joe 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🤙
I think I prefer the Creole vs the Cajun, I just think the tomato gives it something special!
Krystyn Scrbic I agree, the tomato does definitely give it something special. I grew up on the Cajun version but this Jambalaya is probably the best I've tasted!
Anytime I make a rice dish I'm tempted to fry the rice first in oil
What’s the spelling of that ham
I think you might be asking about Tasso.
I've had both and I prefer the Creole version much better because it has more flavor and moisture. I'm not a fan of dry jambalaya.
I like your channel Cajun chef.
+Michael D Thanks for the comment! I do too. I appreciate you checking out my channel 😁😁
DONT GET ME WRONG LOOKS GREAT WANT TO TRY IT but i thought whats so famous about it when i watched a cooking show we chuckled said thats it ..

U sound like an amateur. Those metal spoons won't harm the cast iron
@@ghettoghost2657 I’ve them scratched up, rusted up and useless.
Just reseason them
I don't know about this recipe.
You forgot the sausage in the recipe.
Dried Thyme : it's crappy
Sound a lot like Pau

5 minutes and he still hasn't used water
The rice was not cooked when this was served...big flop.
umm. yes it was
Creole is a city food lol? Creole is African cajun is white Italian German French
Creole also has a strong Spanish influence, a melting pot of sorts. Not just African. Most of the dishes prepared in these areas were heavily influenced by the availability of ingredients.
That statement came from the late great Chef Paul Prudhomme
@@TheCajunChef I have never ever heard of creole being heavily influenced by Spanish

Blk ppl from Louisiana old timers said creole came heavily from blk slave cooks
I think you're getting TABLEspoons confused with TEAspoons. Your measuring instrument is CLEARLY a TABLESPOON, but you keep saying TEASPOON. HUGE DIFFERENCE.
You are suppose to brown the shit out the chicken, right before burt..
Bruh, this looks bland lol
try it. it's not. you can always add more spice
I just feel it needs some paprika, thats all. And more color on the chicken
I'm from New Orleans Louisiana and that is not how you make Jambalaya
You know what's funny, this jambalaya is only a slightly modified version directly from the Paul Prudhomme cookbook lol. A chef idolized in the New Orleans area. So there is that
