Jamabalaya yep... one of my favourites.. I make it much like a spanish paella, but make sure I start with the cajun holy trinity. The trick is to use good quality fresh chorizo, or a decent smokey sausage if not.

Yeah, me too, most of the time. I just went to the store and bought all the stuff I need to make it

And i'm going to put shellfish in it, too, like paella.

I am just about to put on my apron and do it ^^

Don't overcook the shellfish. If it's prawns, just lay them on the top when it's done and let them steam through with the lid on. Lots of fresh lemon juice, too, over them.

Thanks for the tip =) Sounds like a smart way to do it. My stuff is almost done now, and it tastes godlike

That particular dish is called crawfish ètouffée.

Works quite well with langoustine (scampi) tails, if you can get them. Actually if you can get the discovery range of sauces the "Kickin' Cajun" sauce is a great base for this.

Hey, my hot sauce recommendation has disappeared.

It's still here! I promise.

Man. I have like a ton of jambalaya left since yesterday, even though i've eaten it like three times since yesterday evening (x_X) I'm a fool. I actually went to the store and bought more stuff to make even MOAR Jambalaya!!

I have a few variations in my head that I want to examine closer

Gonna put some chopped baby corn in it, and some other stuff. More garlic.

Oh, and they were out of Chipotle hot sauce, so I went with McIlhenny tabasco sauce. Kind of like that one, too.

Why do I get stuck on things like this?

It's weird. I will probably be eating this for a week or more, until I think i'm somewhat good at it. Then I will save the recipe and do it when there are people around.

I'm Cajun and I'll add to this soon so hopefully it can gets it's own thread.

Orange, Sultana and Honey Bread. (I made this recipe up myself)

Put ingredients into breadmaker in this order :

1 small sachet of fast acting yeast
500g of strong white bread flour
2 tbsp milk powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp honey
250ml water
100ml orange juice (I used blood orange juice)

Bake on a raisin bread setting, and when the beep for fruit goes, add

75g of sultanas (dried)

Toast and enjoy!

Delicious!
