Chicken and sausage jambalaya with Elsie Pea protection...

November 08, 2017, 09:04 PM

It's been 8-9 months since I cooked one up...based on Justin Wilson's recipe

...this will stew in its own spicy juices (in the fridge when it cools) until tomorrow...it is good

.

Since no one else but me knew of its creation, I felt the Elsie Pea would suffice...if word got out, I would have to break out something heavier

...

Oh,yeah. I lubs me some jambalaya. I've made it a few times for company. I think my concoction stemmed from a recipe that was based on goat. But I didn't have any on hand

, so substituted chicken and sausage. It was just fine. Yours looks very good.

Man I’m slow tonight. I kept wondering who Elsie Pea was and why she needed protection.

Don't let Newman find out. Looks delish. I was going to make salmon-fennel chowder tomorrow but am considering jumbalaya now.

Never eaten jambalaya, does it burn your gut?

Take this w/ a bit-o-salt, as I'm a northerner in love w/ the stuff.
Yes, it will have some heat. Most(all) recipes will call for some cayenne pepper. Also, On-do-ee saw-sage(Andouille sausage) is pretty much a must. So yeah, It's got a little kick in the background.

But up Nort here, I reduce tha spice a lil bit. I don't blame spice for my acid reflux. I just consider it to be aggravation of a pre-existing problem.

You could always halve the red pepper and use a different sausage to start.
It's also good to split the pepper into three parts. One part Red, one part Black, and one part White pepper. It makes for a nice blend. Adjust it to your liking.

For reference, I follow Chef Paul Prudhomme's recipes and they pretty much kick may ass.
But I keep coming back for more.

Does not have to be hot. My wife forces me to make it mild. When I make my plate it cover it in Tony's hottest stuff.

I love jambalaya. Can eat on it for days.
