Today we are going to mention the main differences between jambalaya and paella. The former is similar to other rice and meat dishes, such as gumbo and étouffée, but is quite different from paella.
First of all, jambalaya is a Louisiana-born dish that has its origins in historical influences from France 🇫🇷, unlike paella that is a Spanish 🇪🇸 meal. Beyond their origins, they also differ in ingredients, for example: paella uses bomba rice from Eastern Spain, whereas jambalaya uses long-grain rice 🍛.
In addition, jambalaya is seasoned with Cajun spices. Paella, on the other hand, uses rosemary and saffron as the main spices.
