Jambalaya
Jambalaya Jambalaya is a Louisiana-origin dish of Spanish and French influence. It consists mainly of meat and vegetable mixed with rice. Meat usually includes sausage of some sort, chicken and shrimp. The common vegetable to use is onion, celery and green pepper. I also like to include whatever vegetable I can find my refrigerator or freezer. For example, mushroom, carrots, corn, and tomato. I have tried to cook with or without rice. Rice is definitely more flavorful cooked into the dish, however, leftover Jambalaya with rice seems a bit dry.
