Jambalaya Recipe

This is one of my favorite vegan recipes. Its extremely easy to make, and everyone loves it--vegans, veggies, and non-veggies alike.

Vegan Jambalaya (makes 6 servings):
Olive oil
1 onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
1 can small diced tomatoes
1 can kidney beans
3 cups plain uncooked rice
Vegetable stock (if you don't have any, water is OK too)
Tony Cacheres Cajun spice
Tofurky Italian sausage

Cook the rice according to directions-- use vegetable stock or water, whichever you prefer.

Slice the Tofurky sausage and sauté in a pan with oil, until browned on both sides.

In a large saucepan, heat the oil. Chop all the veggies into small pieces and put the onion, garlic, and both peppers in the pan to sauté. Cook on medium heat until the onions are softened. Add in the diced tomatoes and kidney beans and cover. Let the whole mixture cook for a few minutes.

Add the Cajun spice to the veggie mixture. Add as much as you like depending on how spicy you want it.

Finally, add the sausage and veggies into the rice. Mix everything together, and add extra spices if you want. For a really great Cajun meal, make some vegan bread pudding for dessert (recipe to come). Enjoy!
