Jambalaya

My next door neighbors, from Abbeville, Louisiana, showed me something about cooking Cajun rice dishes like Jambalaya, something I never knew. They put in one onion, some garlic, one red bell pepper, one yellow bell pepper, and one green bell pepper and cook it down at the beginning until it is all mush and you can't identify any of it. Sounds unimportant - it is not! I have no idea why and I'm not posting a Jambalaya recipe here but if you are going to make it - any version of it - do this first. It will amaze you. Thanks Darlyne and Walyn! I'm making Jambalaya tonight.
