AUTHENTIC JAMBALAYA



Authentic Jambalaya image

A good recipe I got from a Justin Wilson cookbook. I didn't change much just tweaked a few things and halved the recipe, so it's pretty true to his recipe. This is nice and mild, not a lot of spice so my wife likes it. I have to add at least a tsp of Tabasco to each bowl though. I hope you enjoy it.

I used to watch Justin's Cajun Cooking Show & have been cooking this recipe for many years, with many alterations & add on's thru the years. You can literally add or use any meat.... " I Garontee" as Justin would say....
