Smoked Artichoke Jambalaya
jambalaya

A classic New Orleans rice dish in spiced tomato sauce with okra, smoked sausage, and smoked artichokes.

Fun Facts: Jambalaya comes from the French Quarter of New Orleans. It is said that it was an attempt by the Spanish to make paella in the “New World,” where saffron was not easily available, and tomatoes were substituted. Eventually, spices from the Caribbean made it to New Orleans, and the addition of these spices to the “Spanish Paella” turned into a unique dish – Jambalaya! This interpretation from The Vegan Taste will give you folate, fiber, antioxidants, vitamins A, C, & K1, and more!

Reheating Instructions: Warm in a pan over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes.

Customer Comments:

“I never thought I’d be able to enjoy Southern cuisine as a vegan. This entree and the grits that were on the menu a couple of weeks ago were both delicious. Loved the artichoke!” – Linda St. from Scottsdale

“We made a wild rice mixture and put this over it. So good. We don’t usually buy okra so it was fun and yummy. Loved the sausage. Where can I get some?” Elizabeth Go. from Mesa

“My meat-eating husband really liked it” Brittany Ni. from Cave Creek
