Homemade Jambayala, the Lousisiana way, my friend is in and cooked for us, it was amazing.



This means tasso and andouille as the flavoring backbone.

Additional meats might include catfish, shrimp, chicken, rabbit, alligator, etc., but it's all about the tasso and andouille.

Fortunately, here in Portland, Hawthorne Pastaworks carries both tasso (in the secret freezer, gotta ask) and andouille, so I purchase several half-pound packages of each to freeze and make:

Unfortunately, if you live in some god forsaken place like Ohio or Arizona, real jambalaya will be denied and instead, you'll have to eat Cincinnati Chili or chimichangas, respectively...
