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.
