Jambalaya in the new CI!

TideEggHead

I've been wanting to make some jambalaya on the egg and finally got a lodge Dutch oven for Christmas! We decided to have some friends over and make some this Friday. I used the recipe on the BGE website but left out the beef and added smoked sausage, andouille, and chicken!

Followed the recipe and cooked most ingredients (meat, trinity, etc.)at 450 direct for about 10 minutes 
then added the rice and simmered at 350 for 25 minutes.

It came out great! Very moist, some of the best I've ever made. I also got to break in my new CI grate!






Happy New Years Eggers!

Looking good!

That looks wonderful. If I cooked all the great things that folks post here in a continous rotation it would take me two years to get around them all.

My BIL, would drive up from New Orleans, on Memorial Day Weekend, and Labor Day Weekend, every year, and together we would host a get-together for family and friends. The shrimp boils had grown in popularity, that required our street be blocked, by the city, due to the amount of folks that would participate.
The prize cook was done in his cast iron cauldron. He would make about 20 pounds of jambalaya. It vanished as soon as it was ready to serve. He cooked it over the fire pit. It was my favorite dish he cooked. Typically he did 2-3 runs of this per day. 
This meal you have posted, looks spectacular. I will be cooking this in the future, should we continue the tradition.
Thank you for posting.

Sounds like a great time! I'll be on the lookout for pictures next time around! The whole cook took about 1 hour including egg prep and light up. Just beware if you use the BGE website recipe for the most part like I did, this will feed about 5 people comfortably. This was done in a 5 quart DO just FYI. I'll probably add shrimp next time!
