  • Jambalaya and Gumbo might not have too much in common, but unless you’re in the south they’re often confused. I’ve chosen to make a Creole-style Gumbo made with seafood and a Cajun-style Jambalaya made with Andouille sausage and Tasso ham. Allow me to clarify. Let the battle begin and COOK ON! 🤘🏻Adam

    I'm a Creole from new orleans and my mom always cooked both dishes for me during the holidays. I always preferred Gumbo over jambalaya. Gumbo is probably the second most important dish on Thanksgiving with the turkey coming first. I loved dipping my turkey slices in the Gumbo.
    You should compare Shimp Creole to Crawfish etouffee. There are more New Orleans rice dishes out there.

    • @AdamWitt
      @AdamWitt  Před 2 lety +1

      Ah very tight. Thanks for sharing. That comparison makes more sense because they're much more similar, but this video was meant to answer the Gumbo v Jamba question. Maybe in the future. Thanks for watching!

    "Gumbo and jambalaya are two completely unique and different dishes" Having lived in Cajun country for quite some time, i can say no, no they are not. On the base level the only difference is the rice. Infact its not uncommon to use leftover gumbo to make Jambalaya. Every family is going to be a stickler on how they think either should be made but ultimately they are effectively the same.

    So, my gumbo recipe comes from the early 1900s from my New Orleans side of the family - no tomatoes. Never. Never ever. And okra always. (I mean Dookie Chase is no okra, but ours always did.)
    So this was a real interesting take.

    • @AdamWitt
      @AdamWitt  Před 2 lety +1

      Word! That's so cool - sounds like an O.G. preparation. It sounds like your g-ma does things that Cajun way as opposed to Creole (Creole cooking tends to utilize tomato product).

    I'm from Gonzales, La and I feel that is important because it is billed as the Jambalaya Capital of the World. We know how to cook jambalaya. I won't get into regional differences and creole vs cajun because it is all good to me. Both of your dishes look great and I'm sure they are delicious but a couple of points for if you want to make it the right way. (1) either roux or file in gumbo but not both (2) no roux in jambalaya. Just brown everything in the same pot and go from there and (3) no oven. Why the oven? You cook rice (and hence jambalaya) on the stove.

    Hi Adam Love your videos! My personal favorite it your Italian sausage recipe which I make 15-20 pound batches (two large pork butts) about twice a year and use throughout the year in my pastas. I'm going to be making your Italian beef recipe in the near future and I'm looking forward to that. With that said...no Roux in the jambalaya🙂. I'll use a roux in Gumbo (obviously), etouffee, and dirty rice...but not jambalaya. That's my two cents from years of making Creole and Cajun food and also doing lots of research. My Gumbo recipe that I use is based off of Jimmy Bannos recipe from Heaven on Seven that unfortunately closed down a couple years ago. That was one of my favorite spots in Chicago when I lived there, and I hope you had a chance to go there. It was a basis Chicken and Sausage Gumbo that was absolutely to die for. I've based my Jambalaya recipe off of one of Paul Prudhomme's video's that I found on CZcams. No roux in that Jambalaya and he makes it creole style with tomatoes. This is also to die for.

    My Cajun mom-in-law say the the roux for the gumbo should be the color of a penny. She doesn’t put all of that meat In there, just sausage and shrimp. She does not make Jambalaya as it is not Cajun. I’ve not yet attempted her recipe, but I have it! 🦐
