Mals’ jambalaya
Mallorie Rasberry cooked up her famous jambalaya on Home Town in 2022.
The dish has Southern roots and is very popular for being flavourful, filling and cheap to make as per Veetee.
Jambalaya is a pretty versatile dish but the basic ingredients include rice, meat and vegetables. Judging by Erin’s Instagram post of Mal’s jambalaya, it appears that she’s opted for traditional smoked sausage in her recipe.
