I Cooked It And Ate It.

Post pics of your dinner here. Just a general food thread. I'll start.
 
Jambalaya and white beans!
 
Start with a pound of bacon.

Add smoked sausage and brown it up. Then remove the bacon and sausage from the pot and reserve in a bowl.

Brown some pork in the bacon grease

Once the pork is brown, return the sausage and bacon to the pot and add celery, onions, peppers, and garlic. Sweat them all down until the veggies are tender.

Add water and rice - 2:1 ratio - Here I have 4 cups of water to 2 cups of rice. Also add 1 chicken boullion cube for each cup of water. Water and boullion first, then once the boullion is dissolved and incorporated, add the rice and mix well. Don't forget the salt. Salt it like you would normally salt rice.

Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, then turn off the fire and let it steam covered for about 20-30 minutes. Then uncover, fluff, and serve!

Thanks, TB. That's saying a lot!
 
LD, yeah, I really like my grill basket. It's perfect for veggies. I use it to grill up the works for salsa all the time.

 
No doubt... agreed! I'd like to get a few more, myself. That one is the biggest one I have (either 7 or 9 qt...I don't remember). I'd love to get a 20qt to make a big jambalaya for family get-togethers. I'd hate to lug it around and have to clean it though! lol
I have a 12qt and 10qt that I use for Christmas Jambalaya !!!
 
Both of those are older Lodge Dutch Ovens made in the 1930's-40's. Here they are in action last Christmas !
