Vegetarian Jambalaya

This traditional creole dish works so well on these cold winter days! This rice based dish is great to make ahead of time, tastes great as leftovers, and will make everyone happy at the table.

Being vegetarian I have re-worked the recipe to eliminate meat without losing out on the flavour, smokiness, or proteins!

INGREDIENTS - everything should be diced/cut into bite-sized pieces



  • 3 tbsp oil, divided
  • 1 onion
  • 4 garlic, minced 
  • 3 bell peppers
  • 2 celery
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded (for less heat)
  • 1/2 head cauliflower
  • 2 to 3 adobo peppers
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoonCajun seasoning
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tbsp tamari
  • 34 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked long grain rice
  • 1 cup okra, thawed if frozen
  • 1 can black eyed peas/beans, 2 cups
  • Salt & Pepper, to taste
