Jambalaya is usually made with meat, but I've swapped vegan sausage for animal proteins and created a simple yet incredibly delicious recipe that the whole family will love! This was very similar to my usual recipe I use for jambalaya. I have never used file powder and every batch turns out great. Jambalaya (/ˌdʒæmbəˈlaɪ.ə/ JAM-bə-LY-ə, /ˌdʒʌm-/ JUM-) is a Creole and Cajun rice dish of West African, French (especially Provençal cuisine), and Spanish influence, consisting mainly of meat and vegetables mixed with rice.

Whole Foods Jambalaya instructions

1. Mince raw bacon (I use cooking scissors) in a stock pot or deep sauce pan. Cook over medium heat until browned. Set bacon aside and drain all but 1 Tbsp grease. Add 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil to the bacon grease and add the sliced sausages. Cook until lightly browned. Set sausages aside with bacon..
2. Add the remaining 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil to pot. Add bell peppers, celery, onion, and garlic. Sauté until the onions are softened..
3. Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken stock, rice, Cajun seasoning, thyme, cayenne, and bay leaf. Stir to combine. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for about 25-30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes (so rice doesn’t burn), until the rice is cooked through. It really will burn if not stirred regularly. If you want to avoid all the stirring, do this step in the crockpot..
4. Remove the bay leaf. Add the shrimp and stir to combine. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through and pink. Stir in the sausages and bacon..
5. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and additional Cajun seasoning if needed. Remove from heat..
6. Serve warm with your desired garnishes and hot sauces..
