The sausage is replaced with the smoked ham. Which is a very nice variation. Change is good, people get tired of classical cookery.

Please! This is no where near Cajun Jambalaya. While it may be tasty it is totally disgraceful to call this dish Cajun or Jambalaya. CajunLou, from Acadiana country in Louisiana.
