Great minds think alike, Joe: I skimmed the threads to see if anybody else thought of it.

The great thing about Jambalaya is how you can throw in whatever you got in the house and it comes out great.

I start with my cast iron dutch oven. (essential) I have to leave out the onions nowadays. U know why.

Chop up your favorite vegetables, esp. lots of garlic Cube what ever animal protein you like: chicken, pork, shrimp. I personally cannot eat crab, and crawdads look disgusting.

Stir into dutch oven with rice and commesurate water.

I like to add butter, but then I'm hooked on fat. Season to taste, but lots of cayenne.

throw it into the oven at around 350 degrees until all the water is absorbed. The crunchy part at the bottom is best.
