Loaded with tomatoes, celery, onion, cajun seasoning, paprika, thyme, sweet peppers, and jalapeños, this cajun jambalaya is a perfect one-pot meal. Since most cajun jambalaya recipes call for a medley of meat products, this jambalaya has vegan sausages instead, just to add a little heartiness and umami to the dish. Feel free to substitute those for vegetables or leave them out though if you'd like the recipe to be gluten-free.

  2. Once softened, add vegan sausage chunks, hot sauce, crushed tomatoes, cajun seasoning, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and thyme into pan and stir well with a wooden spoon.
  3. Once tomatoes start simmering, add brown rice, vegetable stock, coconut sugar, salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

Notes

Use less hot sauce/cayenne/jalapeño if you want a milder Jambalaya. We used mini sweet peppers, but if you can't find those, normal Red and Yellow Peppers will suffice.
