Jambalaya New Orleans

by Editorial Staff

Creole jambalaya comes from the French Quarter of New Orleans. Jambalaya was an attempt by the Spaniards to make paella in the New World, where saffron was not readily available as it was imported, so tomatoes became a substitute for saffron. As time went on, the French influence in New Orleans intensified, and spices from the Caribbean countries finally turned this paella into a unique dish.
