Recipe for Vegetarian Jambalaya. This recipe features tofu instead of meat, but still retains that authentic Louisiana flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound extra firm tofu, frozen and thawed (see note above)
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4-6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (16 ounces) tomatoes, chopped, reserve liquid
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
  • 3/4 cup fresh parsley, minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoons cayenne
  • 2 cups uncooked rice
  • salt, pepper and hot sauce (preferably Tabasco) to taste

Directions

  1. Squeeze as much water out of thawed tofu as possible, without breaking it up too much. Cut squeezed tofu into 1/2" squares and set aside.
  2. Heat oil in a large Dutch Oven and add onions and garlic. Saute until just starting to brown, remaining ingredients except tofu, rice and reserved liquid. Combine reserved tomato juice and water or vegetable stock to make about 3 cups. Add this mixture to the pot and bring to a boil. Add drained tofu and rice. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for about 45 minutes. Remove from heat, remove bay leaves and adjust seasonings.
