Cajun Jambalaya with Meat Substitute Sausage

Ingredients

• 150 g Plant-based sausage (crumbled)
• 1 cup Long-grain white rice
• 1/2 cup Red bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 cup Green bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup Canned diced tomatoes (no‑salt added)
• 2 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning blend
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat olive oil in a large heavy‑bottomed pot over medium heat; add the crumbled plant‑based sausage and sauté 3–4 minutes until lightly browned.

2. 2

   Add the onion, red and green bell peppers; cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Stir in the Cajun seasoning and cook 1 minute to release aromatics.

4. 4

   Add the rice, diced tomatoes, and broth; bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20–25 minutes until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

5. 5

   Remove from heat, let stand covered 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and garnish with parsley if desired.
