Vegan Jambalaya

Recipe Description

Vegan Jambalaya is a fantastic healthy vegan dish with an added kick from Tabasco sauce. Jambalaya is a dish which originates in Louisiana and has Spanish, French and West African influences. Traditionally, jambalaya includes sausage and some type of seafood, such as crawfish or shrimp. In this version, I replace the sausage and seafood with beans and mushrooms to make a vegan version. 

It’s really easy to make too. Start by sautéing onion, garlic, celery, peppers and mushrooms. Add in your crushed tomatoes, vegetable stock, herbs, spices and sauces, rice and beans and simmer until almost all of the liquid is absorbed. Serve garnished with freshly chopped herbs. Depending on how brave you are, you can add extra tabasco sauce. 

To make my version of Vegan Jambalaya, you will need the following ingredients:
