Sitting here listening to John sing reminds me of my dad and Christmas as a kid. He was a new prof and had 3 kids and no money for xmas records but he would play Creedence for us and tell us it was Christmas music. He hung pine boughs above the door with blinking colored lights. The kids would lay on the floor and watch the lights while the folks and their friends played bridge. As I type this he is lying in a hospital bed alone, lungs torn apart from covid. I may never see him again but this music is just like having him over at the table dealing the next hand.
He came home and died in his sleep to the smell of chocolate chip cookies baking. We toasted him with his best scotch and I made gumbo. Live well folks, live well.
Looks wonderful Mathew! I bet the other campers came around and had nice things to say. That's a real community meal. And feeding others is an act of love. Good man.
Made this on a smaller scale the other day for 10, but also added fresh shrimp at the end. Used smoked sausage as well as jalapeño cheddar brats out of the casings. Seasoned chicken with an all purpose Greek season blend, and used a creole season blend for shrimp, then left in fridge for several hours before cooking. Followed vid precisely. Used homemade Turkey stock made the previous day from a bird I brined for two days, and cooked with a Cajun seasoning last month. The only other seasonings added to pot was some thyme, smoked paprika and cayenne. Everyone raved, and I have to say, it was the best jambalaya I have ever eaten. The flavor was outstanding.
I followed this recipe step by step, yet I must say that watching this tutorial was phenomenal. My Jambalaya turned out to be delectable and tasty. The notes of each spice was like harmony to my taste buds. The flavors marry so well together. I see no divorce. Your 7 years of perfection has sent a beautiful message. I had so much fun cooking with you. Good Job! Thanks one million…
It looks good. I’m seasoning a #20 washpot while watching cooking videos. 😁 if your pot is seasoned good that SS Paddle isn’t gonna hurt your seasoning. I use stainless spatulas and spoons in all my cast iron and cook in it every day. If you adjust your air intake on your burner it’ll turn the flame blue. It makes it more efficient and won’t soot up the outside of your pots. I liked the music with the recipe. Nice fit!
I wondered why his flame wasn't adjusted. Figured he did it to get a lower heat. But adjusting the flame and lowering the pot would cut his propane use. Jambalaya looked good though:) Same way I make mine.
There are many ways of cooking Jambalaya. But this is my favourite. Technique, atmosphere, music, and the decent amount of food are perfect for the dish. Greetings from the countryside!
Jambalaya is my favorite Cajun/creole dish. I and my family like version a Lot. This version taught me a lot. I’m going to incorporate them next I have a hankering for jambalaya. My family will surely enjoy the update.
I've watched a lot of jambalaya videos and this is probably the most entertaining. Looks amazing, and rockin the CCR makes me wish I was there at the cookout!
You some good ole boys! I live in SF and would like to fight, with the good ole boys! America First! Screw all the Politicians! They ain't worth any Gumbo!
I literally said "aw" when some of the jambalaya when over the side of the pot at 10:35, it was quite sad. I've known people from Louisiana in my life up here in Yankeeland, and they all were great cooks and loved to share their love of Cajun food with others. One was a woman where I first worked, she would bring in homemade hushpuppies and shrimp creole and other foods for us once in a while. Then there was a guy who worked on a road crew and was in our town for a few months, he threw a party one Sunday and made lots of cajun favorites. The third was a gal, a very pretty cajun gal, she wasn't the MOST beautiful woman ever, but she was one of the very sexiest woman I've ever known. She had such a great body, wore wonderfully tight jeans, had big dark blue eyes and had a sultry face framed by long dark hair in ringlets. When she would get up on the dance floor, every guy couldn't help but watch her. She was a fantastic cook, owned a bar with a little restaurant out in the woods, and had other talents too, a perfect woman. I had a great time with her until her husband was due to get out of jail (drugs). As they say, all good things must end, and it was time to be moving on anyway.
OMG! My mouth is watering, because that's how it looks tasty... Please give me the recipe, including the spices You used there. I live in Europe, so my knowledge of Your cuisine is negligible, but what I saw - it is a world championship!!! Best regards Catherine.
I am 8 minutes into the video, so far this looks to be the closest to Louisiana Jambalya I have seen on youtube. Mad respect for the skills....onions in AFTER the oil has been full of the meat fats....I was like "yup that is the flavor". Ok...back to watching.
Garlic AND roux, plus a splash of white vinegar does wonders. But that’s the great thing about jambalaya, everyone has a different way of making it and it usually always leads to copious amounts of beer consumption.
This is the best 👌 recipe I have seen so far...I was given a cook book by my aunt with a Jambalaya recipe. I made it myself but yours looks mighty tasty. the bacon tops it and now I see you made good use of that bacon grease ... looks great 👍
Con todos mis respetos,es un plato típico de Louisiana,y como tal,debo asumir su forma de cómo lo hacéis, ahora bien,creo que el arroz lo maltratais hasta convertir el plato en una mazamorra,un engrudo super mezclado. El arroz y su cocción son veinte minutos ¡!!sin apenas tocarlo!!..Lo dicho:respeto vuestra gastronomía y buen hacer. Saludos desde el Campo de Montiel, tierra del Quijote a las viejas tierras del antiguo Virreinato de Nueva España 🇪🇸❌🇺🇲❤️💛❤️
I just discovered you channel. It's great. That Jambalaya looks awesome! what size pot do you have? I just bought a 5 gallon Carolina cooker cast iron.
The Green River was a soda in El Cerrito Pharmacy and yes the Fogerty family were neighbors! I miss that soda and hot beans and Frank’s on a Rainy Day! 😇✌️👍
So that looks like some kind of camp stove for the pot and pod, but what is that type of propane burner element called? Mine is more of a single jet flame for crawfish boils.
Looks delicious. I am from Louisiana but live over in the UK. I'm being asked to cook a Louisiana dish for the staff at work (30-40 people). How many servings does your recipe result in? thanks.
Just curious I’m from South Carolina and just bought this exact setup and planning my first Jambalaya this size, how much seasoning should I use I’m planning to useTony’s. Around about how much seasoning should I add to it. I can’t wait to try this . Love the video by the way from the music to the food great all the way around!
While the end product looks amazing and I want to eat it all,,,,, I winced every time you slopped food out of the pot. Losing some sausage broke my heart but seeing half a pound of bacon flop out on the ground brought me to tears. You either need to cut the amount down or get a bigger pot. Bacon and sausage waste is no laughing matter.
