Jambalaya always brings to mind the Carpenters song; ''Jambalaya (On the Bayou)'' Not a Carpenters song but a dish traditionally made in one pot, with [[Meats|meats]] and [[Vegetables|vegetables]]. It is completed by adding [[Stock|stock]] and [[Rice|rice]]. Looking at various recipes in more detail, this strikes me now as a typical leftover dish. Cooking up what you have around at the time. | |||

When I made this for the first time, not having the slightest idea what jambalaya was, it looked quite complex, however, having made it many times now I now think it is probably one of the easiest recipes around. It is also a brilliant recipe to adapt to your own personal taste. It is also an excellent recipe for using up leftovers. | When I made this for the first time, not having the slightest idea what jambalaya was, it looked quite complex, however, having made it many times now I now think it is probably one of the easiest recipes around.
