Jambalaya originates from Louisiana in the heart of New Orleans. It was an attempt by the Spanish to make paella in the New World, where saffron was not readily available. Tomatoes became the substitute for saffron. As time went on, spices from the Caribbean changed this New World paella into a unique dish. Jambalaya is traditionally made in three parts:

  1. a rich stock is created from vegetables, meat, and seafood
  2. raw long-grain rice is then added to the broth and
  3. the flavor is absorbed by the grains as the rice cooks.

It is a great one-pot meal which is easy to prepare during the busy week.
