Vegan Jambalaya

Step 1

Heat a tbsp of oil in a large pan on medium heat.

Step 2

Chop chorizo sausages into 1/2 inch slices and fry for a few minutes on each side until browned and crispy. Transfer to a bowl.

Step 3

In the same pan (don't clean it) add another tbsp of oil. Add finely chopped onion and fry for a few minutes then add minced garlic and chopped pepper and celery. Fry for 5 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add all the remaining ingredients - finely chopped jalapeño (remove seeds for less spice), cajun spice, cayenne, bay leaf, thyme, stock, tomatoes and rice (rinsed until water runs clear). Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes but be careful not to over stir it.

Step 5

In the last couple of minutes add the chorizo. Taste and season with salt and pepper
