Vegan Jambalaya Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare Jackfruit

   Begin by draining and rinsing the canned jackfruit. Remove the core and seeds, and shred the jackfruit with your hands or forks to resemble pulled meat.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, bell pepper, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

3. 3

   Cook Plant-based Sausage

   Slice the plant-based sausage and add it to the pot, cooking until browned, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Spices and Jackfruit

   Stir in smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Add the shredded jackfruit and mix well.

5. 5

   Add Rice and Broth

   Pour in the vegetable broth and canned diced tomatoes (with their juice). Bring the mixture to a boil, then stir in the red rice.

6. 6

   Simmer

   Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.

7. 7

   Season and Serve

   Remove the bay leaf and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
