Chicken and Andouille Sausage Jambalaya

Jambalaya is a standard party food and is SO common in Louisiana that I am always surprised when I have to describe it. Some of the best Jambalaya cooks can be found tailgating at a college football game cooking over an open flame in a huge cast iron pot and stirring with a boat paddle. A jambalaya is a rice dish with chicken, pork and smoked sausage all cooked into a pot together with spices. Some will swear that putting tomatoes or tomato sauce in a jambalaya is a sin, but as with most cajun dishes everyone makes them different and that’s alright.

Crawfish Pasta

This dish is Gumbo Boi’s take on a very popular New Orleans Jazz Fest food. If you ever make it down to the Jazz Fest, do yourself a favor and try your best, the longest line at a food stand will be to get this festival staple. In fact you can only get it at Jazz Fest. Jazz Fest pasta features rotini pasta tossed with a spicy creamy sauce and crawfish tails. It’s devilishly decadent and hits the spot every time.
