Expert Tips

Jambalaya--a Creole classic--varies widely depending on the cook. Some say that this dish got its name from the French word for ham (jambon), which was the main ingredient in many of the first jambalayas.

Can't find chunky tomatoes with crushed red pepper? Add 1/4 teaspoon or so of crushed red pepper to a 14 1/2-ounce can of regular chunky tomatoes instead.

This was one of my favorite recipes to make for myself when I just started cooking. Followed it exactly and it was always delicious! Made it again last night, with turkey sausage, and added in frozen peppers and corn and some extra seasoning. Very good. It is a great recipe, very easy to make, and always seems to turn out great.
