Ingredients:
-
Trinity (½ Onion, ¼ bell pepper, ¼ Celery)

Do you have what it takes? Stock up below!
How much do I need for my pot?
HOW MUCH TRINITY DO I NEED?
When estimating the quantity of aromatics and veggies. I want you to visualize your finished level of jambalaya desired. Your starting quantity of aromatics should be ¾ of that. Remember, it will reduce in volume and concentrate in flavor.
HOW MUCH MEAT DO I NEED?
Just like we did with the trinity and other veg. I want you to visualize your finished level of jambalaya in your pot. Your starting total quantity of meat should be about ½ to ¾ of that level. It will reduce in volume and concentrate in flavor. I’ll let you decide how to split the sausage to other meat ratios. I like slightly more meat than sausage.
HOW MUCH RICE AND STOCK DO I NEED FOR MY POT?
My favorite way to calculate my quantity for a home jambalaya is by sight and feel.
When pouring your stock into the pot, bring the stock level in the pot just below where you want your finished jambalaya quantity to land in the pot. As you add stock, just keep a count of how many cups you’ve added. You’ll then divide that count of cups of stock by 1.5 for your rice quantity.
"We want to teach you how to ACTUALLY cook. We don't just want you mindlessly following recipes."

The Setup / Mise en Place
If you want to smoke your own meats (chicken or pork):
- Season pork shoulder or chicken thighs thoroughly
- (Cut pork shoulder in to chunks the size of a nice ribeye, before seasoning and smoking)
- Smoke chicken ~300 degrees for 1-2 hours or until 160-170 internal temperature is reached. (this will cook more for tenderness and fat rendering when we are browning it for the jambalaya)
- Smoke Pork Shoulder ~300 degrees for 1-2 hours or until 150-160 internal temperature is reached. (this will cook more for tenderness and fat rendering when we are browning it for the jambalaya)
- Cut pork shoulder or chicken thighs into 2 inch cubes or strips in the case of the chicken thighs
If you are not smoking your own pork shoulder or chicken thighs:
- cut pork shoulder or chicken thighs into 2 inch cubes or strips in the case of the chicken thighs
- Season the pork or chicken thoroughly and toss to evenly coat all pieces
If you are using Tasso and/or bacon, get those two cut into small dices or lardons (rectangular chunks about .25 inch thick)
Cut Sausage into .25 - .5 inch slices.
Cut Trinity into a small dice.
Slice, chop, mince fresh garlic (food processor is perfect to save a little time, just a few pulses should yield a nice mince)
Slice mushrooms into small dice or slices (depends on whether or not you want people to know you snuck some shrooms in your jambalaya 🤣)
OK. NOW, let's make some Jambalaya!
It starts with the sauté!!
MEATS FIRST
- Pot on high, add some avocado or light olive oil
- Throw in a nice big chunk of butter
- Start with bacon and or Tasso, sauté until nice and brown and crispy then remove and add to a bowl that will house all of the sautéed meats as they come out of the pot.
- Add in the sausage, sauté until nice and evenly, deeply browned (not just a little brown around the edges)
BE SURE YOU ARE RESERVING ALL THAT GOOD FAT IN THE POT AS YOU FINISH AND REMOVE YOUR MEATS (use a slotted spoon to remove your meats)
- add in the pork and or chicken, these are smoked and seasoned or they are raw and seasoned, either way, the end goal is: sauté until evenly, deeply browned then remove and retire to the finished meat bowl (be sure to steal a taste of both, you’ve earned it)
NOW FOR THE TRINITY AND COMPANY
- By this point you should have quite a bit of fond built up…
- Dump in all of your diced trinity, garlic & mushies
- Season all the veg thoroughly as soon as it goes in the pot
- Sauté until evenly and deeply browned.
- As the veg sticks, scrap the bottom of the pot (if you need to get some serious fond off the pot as you go, add a dash of stock, beer or wine. Don’t worry, you can let it reduce out and keep browning)
- The aromatics will reduce in quantity by more than half in some cases.
- The caramelizing combined with the concentration of flavors is magic
NOW, WE HAVE THE AROMATIC VEGGIES AND ALL OF THE MEATS BROWNED AND LOOKING AMAZING, GET READY, HERE COMES THE FUN PART
- Add everything back into the pot, now its time to get the stock seasoned and simmered to perfection.
- Once we have everything back in the pot, add your bay leaves. 2-3 should do it, unless you are cooking in a pot that is larger than 3-4 gallons or so. In that case double it.
- At this point, you should have quite a bit of Avec Tous in the pot, from the aromatics and from the meats, but we need to add more.
- When seasoning the stock or broth that you will cook your rice in, you need everything to be dialed up to 11. Remember, we are going to be adding quite a bit of rice and you can’t add any salt or spice once the rice is in the mix.
- Add another healthy amount of spice and a few pinches of salt. Taste, taste, taste. I can’t say this enough, you can’t taste it enough.
- We are looking for a level of saltiness in the stock, that is a bit saltier than sea water. It will taste too salty at this stage. That’s good.
- When using Avec Tous OG Blend, you will get a very well rounded heat from the cayenne and black pepper that is included in the blend. Some of you will want to finish the salting with just Avec Tous, resulting in a spicier, warmer jambalaya. Others will opt to add some Avec Tous but finish the salting with sea salt. I opt for some sea salt at the end, once I’m happy with the spice level.
"Brown your sausage and your meat until you are afraid it might burn, THEN pull it out."
— Frank Faucheux
ONCE THE SALT IS RIGHT, WE SIMMER WITH THE LID ON FOR 20-40 MINUTES, TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING GETS TO KNOW EACH OTHER, TENDERIZE THE MEATS AND PULL ALL THAT GOOD FLAVOR OUT OF THE MEATS AND VEGGIES, INTO THE STOCK.
- Now, we add the rice, stir gently once or twice around and bring it up to a boil on hi, until you have consistent boiling across the whole pot. Once you have a good consistent simmer and all of the rice is evenly incorporated, put the lid on a simmer on low for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, open the pot, fold the rice gently from the bottom to the top of the pot. Do not stir. You just want to evenly move the bottom of the rice to the middle or top and the top to the bottom, This will also help redistribute your meats.
- Now, put the lid back on, turn off the fire and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Ok, pull that lid off and give it another quick fold from the bottom of the pot to the top, enjoy that perfectly cooked rice and good hard slap in the face of FLAVOR!!
Garnish and accessories: (these are somewhat optional, but not really)
- Some things we love to add to our plate of Jambalaya:
- Crystal hot sauce
- Avec Tous Spice, The Spicy Blend
- Fresh chopped flat leaf parsley
- Finely sliced green onions.
"Ok, pull that lid off and give it another quick fold

Now enjoy that perfectly cooked rice and

I’d like to recommend the Morphohack Cyber Security team if you ever intend to recover your Bitcoin, USDT, or other crypto assets.
I happen to be one of many people who lost their crypto assets after a distasteful experience with a fake crypto investment scam. They kept requesting more deposits in order to “grant” me access to my wallet. If not for the intervention of the Morphohack Cyber Security team, I would have lost everything completely.
Morphohack intervened on my behalf and began what seemed to be a full recovery process and a cyber attack on these con men.
I’m putting this out here to share my plight and encourage others to act quickly and contact Morphohack if you happen to be in a similar situation. Do not believe that by paying more, you’ll be granted access to your wallet by these investment scammers. Instead, contact the Morphohack Cyber team to help you recover your crypto assets immediately.
