When Louisiana chefs make Jambalaya, they traditionally “sweep up the kitchen” and toss just about everything into the pot. It’s a rice dish with any combination of beef, pork, fowl, smoked sausage, ham, or seafood, as well as celery, green peppers and often tomatoes.
Culinary Definition:
Jambalaya (jum-bə-ly-ə)
A creole cuisine hallmark, jambalaya is a versatile dish that combines cooked rice with a variety of ingredients including tomato, onions, green pepper and almost any kind of meat, poultry or shellfish…Â Â It’s thought that the name derives from the French jambon, meaning ‘ham’, the main ingredient in many of the first jambalayas.
