Gumbo City

So what is the difference between the two? Well here is the scope.

Gumbo is a soup or stew like dish that is based on a Roux (Flour and Fat) that is used to thicken it. It is serverd Over Rice
Jumbalay is a Rice based dish that you add other ingredients to.

Other than that you use mostly the same ingredients in both dishes. I guess it just depends on how much rice you have if you make a Gumbo or a Jambalaya.

This easy jambalaya recipe is one that i picked up when i live in New Orleans for a couple of years. This on i used alot for parties because it is a faster and easyer version.

Directions
1. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces.
2. Add all ingredients, except shrimp and rice, to a pot.
3. Cook about 50 minutes on a medium heat.
4. Add the rice and simmer till rice is tendor.
5. Add shrimp for the last 15 minutes of cooking.
