JumbRAWlaya
Jumbalaya is a dish that is many different ingredients thrown together and is a bit of a sloppy, tasty, mess. It has celery, bell pepper, and onion, as well as other herbs and spices. The smooth sauce and crunch of the celery goes really well together. I first had jumbalaya when one summer my friends and family met another family, and they cooked jumbalaya for us. Everyone was around the pot and I asked them what was for dinner, and they all yelled jumbalaya! However I don’t think any of them actually knew what jumbalaya was…
