  1. The only reason I didn't provide 5 stars was simply because it wasn't spicy enough for my husband. I LOVED this recipe and I hate Jambalaya. Great texture, though next time I would just dice up peppers and onion rather than putting it in food processor. Goes great with cornbread and leftovers were just as great!
