We made this, and followed the recipe without any changes. We thought it was healthy and hearty, but very blah, almost like unseasoned rice and beans (despite what seemed like a lot of marjoram). We do plan to try it again, but we’ll add more of the rutabaga/onion/lentils, cut the veggies in larger chunks, and probably use something with more heat than black pepper.

It would be alot different to make in a slow cooker. Look for a slow cooker jambalaya recipe and sub out the veggies and spices in this recipe.

If it’s brown basmati it should work fine!
