Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 14-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup long-grain white rice, rinsed
- 2 links vegan andouille sausage, sliced
- 1 cup cooked kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup okra, sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, for garnish
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced, for garnish
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), vegetable broth, and rinsed rice. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the sliced vegan andouille sausage, kidney beans, and okra to the pot. Stir gently to incorporate.
Continue to simmer, covered, for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has mostly absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the pot from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes, covered, to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with chopped parsley and sliced green onions before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Vegan Jambalaya!
