I decided to experiment last night with a vegan version after my trip to Whole Foods. Which worked out perfectly, because my boys came home from a very cold snow campout. What better to warm them up then the spicy goodness of Jambalaya?
I started with Paula Deen's recipe, making a few adjustments to account for what I had on hand and, of course, veggie substitutes.
Whitney's Version of Paula's Jambalaya
- 2 cups long grain rice
- 6 tbsp dried onions
- 2 tbsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp ground red pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 bay leaves
- 5 cups vegetable broth
- 1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
- 1 (14 oz) Field's Apple Sage Sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
- 1 (10.5 oz) box vegan shrimp
- In a large pot, combine rice, onion, parsley, thyme, garlic powder, black pepper, red pepper, salt, bay leaf, veggie broth, tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- In a medium saucepan, brown sausage. Add to rice mixture in pot.
- When rice mixture is boiling, cover. Reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until rice is cooked through.
- Add shrimp and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Enjoy!
*Steven's sour cream was not vegan, so if you want to keep it vegan and still cut the heat, either cut down the amount of red pepper, or use a vegan sour cream. :)
Sorry, no pictures...the camera was still packed from the campout...
