Ima have to get me something else now! But thank you for that culinary delight! I copied and pasted so I could save that pasta recipe! YAY!

Everytime I try to cook a Zataran's product it doesn't turn out. What am I doing wrong?

We Answered:

I use all the Zataran's products you have mentioned. I also make all the mentioned from scratch when time allows. Your delima is the same as many who cook ,, no one recipe is the same. My home made Jambalaya and Dirty Rice are not even close to Zataran's which is essence.. a different recipe. The end product of Zataran's is the result of their particular recipe.

Amber Said:

is jambalaya pasta or rice? i'm trying to find a simple recipe and im so confused.?

We Answered:

Jambalaya is a rice dish... as mentioned above, it has it's roots in a Spanish rice dish, Paella.

Another way to look at Jambalaya is that it's a Cajun/Creole version of Spanish rice.

Here's a Jamabalaya recipe from a Native New Orleanian...

Wedding reception food ideas & recipes? finger foods & dinner ideas?

We Answered:

Wow thats a big job =) really sweet of you to do it for them =)

Finger food~
mini quesadillas, tacos, hot wings,mini meatballs with BBQ sauce(yum).

Roasted chicken is a good idea, Curry chicken skewers(recipe below) is another. Make a nice rice pilaf or spanish rice that will go with everything.

If you are going to be doing all the cooking, I would limit it six appetizers and three dinners that have side dishes that interchange.

Another option would be to do all appetizers and have like twelve different type and a couple desserts.

~Curry chicken skewers~

1 lb chicken tenders or chicken breasts, cut into long strips
3 garlic cloves, minced
12 stalks green onions, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemongrass, minced
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 tablespoon honey or light brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons fish sauce
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

In a large bowl or ziplock bag, put chicken meat, garlic, onion, lemon grass, curry powder, sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, paprika, black pepper and water, mix well, add vegetable oil, mix well.
Refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours.)

When ready to cook, skewer chicken meat with soaked wooden skewers and cook on grill with low heat till both sides are golden brown. (About ten minutes)
Serve hot as appetizer with mango salsa.
