I picked up a new cookbook from Amazon this week and tried a chicken and sausage jambalaya from it.  The cookbook is Cooking Up a Storm: Recipes Lost and Found from The Times-Picayune of New Orleans.

The first recipe I tried from it was a simple chicken and sausage jambalaya.  Not as rich as the chicken and sausage gumbo, but a simple “brown” jambalaya that uses ingredients I always have on hand.  Using a 2 qt dutch oven worked very well and the rice came out dry and fluffy with a bit of “crust” on the bottom of the pot.  Cooks as quick as a boxed mix and tastes better!
