Discovering Deliciousness in Vegan Cajun Jambalaya: A Step-by-Step Guide

In a spacious saucepan, warm canola oil over medium heat before sautéing a medley of aromatics – including tender celery, sweet onions, crunchy bell peppers, spicy jalapeños, and pungent garlic – until the mixture is soft and fragrant, taking about 5 minutes to achieve this delightful harmony.
With the ingredients now tender, introduce vegan sausage bits, hot sauce, crushed tomatoes, Cajun seasoning, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and thyme into the pan; stir vigorously with a sturdy wooden spoon to ensure harmonious mingling of flavors.
As soon as the tomatoes begin to simmer, introduce a medley of flavors by adding cooked brown rice, rich vegetable stock, a hint of coconut sugar, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of pepper to the pan. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally.
Allow the pan to be covered with its accompanying lid, and then permit the mixture of rice to gently cook for a period of forty minutes, maintained at an extremely low heat setting.
After a 40-minute cooking period, discontinue heat application, lift the lid from the pan, and thoroughly combine all the components by stirring carefully.
Mix in chopped parsley.
Adjust seasonings to suit your personal taste preferences.
