Jambalaya

[samamph]

This is FABULOUS!!
I made it last night and still can't get over how good it was.  Came back for leftovers today.
Only changes I made.. I didn't have any Mrs Dash, so I used some "Cajun spice" blend I had in the pantry.Around here I don't get Melissas brand Soyrizo, and the stuff I do get comes in a really big package, so I only used half.  It turned out well.   I used white rice, because that's what I had on hand, and some vegetarian "chicken" broth because I thought it would go better with the chicken-style strips.  I wasn't sure how big of a can of tomatoes to use, so I finally decided on the 28 oz can.  It worked perfectly.
I'll be making this on a regular basis! Thanks for taking me back to my childhood, it was sooo much like my grandmother's (except for the meat) I couldn't believe it.

My omnivore boyfriend loves when i make this jambalaya for him. I also used Italian Style Tofurkey sausages, no fake chicken (unavailable here), and used chilli spices instead of the Ms. Dash. Mmmmmmmmm soooo good.

This was fabulous.  My tweaks:  I used Boca italian sausages (all four in the box) instead of the soyrizo and chicken, I did use 28 ounces of stewed tomatoes (so 1 big can), and I found a recipe for "cajun seasoning" (paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper) that I used in place of the spices listed -- about 2 teaspoons total. 

All in all, this was really great and we will definitely have it again.  Thanks for submitting it!!

Two big thumbs up!! I subbed the following: orange pepper for green pepper; I used soyrizo but not Melissa's brand - it was some brand I found at Wal-Mart, but I can't remember the name; omitted chix strips; omitted hot sauce. Otherwise, followed as directed and served with green beans. This was great! Spicy but not too much so. I'll definitely be making it again! I might add some more veggies next time though to make it a little more wholesome.

I kind of mixed this recipe with the recipe here-  http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=18009 , and it came out excellent!  I didn't use Soyrizo or chicken strips, but I added zucchini and carrots and I stewed my own tomatoes by cooking 1 and half fresh tomatoes and a can of diced  for 10 minutes. Instead of Mrs. Dash, I used some of this seasonig-http://www.recipezaar.com/22089.  I served it with garlic bread because I was craving it.

This was absolutely amazing!!!  My mother-in-law learned to make jambalaya in New Orleans and makes a vegan version but this recipe came out way better.  She is a certified chef too and really knows her way around the kitchen.  Even my husband said this came out better than his mom's vegan and non-vegan recipe (this was several years ago). 

I didn't use the Mrs. Dash but the soyrizo had so much flavor that I don't think you would have been able to taste it if I did add it.  I bought a Follow Your Heart "chicken" and cut it into bit size pieces.  This was out of this world delicious.  I recommend everyone make it and try it.  You'll love it!!

Good stuff! I also added cayenne pepper, white pepper, and oregano.

This is great! My family and I tried it and loved it.

Oh my gosh this was frickin' awesome!  I left out the celery since I don't like the texture once it's cooked.  I used about two cups of veggie broth, then added a small can of tomato paste mixed with "chicken" stock to the broth.  I used TJ's soyrizo, LightLife chicken strips, and sliced Tofurky Italian sausage for the meat, and about two and a half cups of rice.  I didn't add the hot sauce to the pot, since my fiance can't take the heat, so I added it to mine afterwards, and it was AWESOME!!!
Thank you soooo much for this!

This really is as good as everyone says!!! We drizzled a little fresh lime juice on top of our individual bowls and it gave it this amazing freshness! This is going in our circulation! Thank you!

Wow! This was a LOT better than I expected.  I made this for my dad's birthday because Jambalya is his favorite... I was really wary of how it would turn out veganized, but it was DELICIOUS, and everyone kept raving about it.

I used Yves soyrizo, Light Life Chik'n Strips, and a 14.5 oz can of stewed tomatoes was definitely more than enough...

I think next time, though, I will add some Tofurky Italian Sausage in addition to the Soyrizo, because I think some sliced chunks of sausage would be a great addition.

Also...some okra would be perfect in this. 

I cut the celery out of the recipe... I hate celery.

It was delicious and gorgeous, I wish I would have remembered to take photos!
