ingredients
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 recipe simple seitan or 16 ounces store-bought seitan, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1⁄2 cup cooking sherry or 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 2 cups long-grain rice
- 28 ounces diced tomatoes
- 15 ounces white beans
- 15 ounces red beans
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 -6 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1 teaspoon dried paprika
- 1⁄2 teaspoon celery seed
- 1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- fresh ground black pepper
directions
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- Preheat a large oven-to-table Dutch Oven or heavy pot over medium-heat. Saute the seitan in 2 T oil for 4-6 min, until lightly browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.
- Add the remaining olive oil to the pot, then stir in the onion, celery, green pepper, and garlic. Saute for 12-14 minutes, until the vegetables are very soft and a tad mushy. Stir in the tomato paste and cook, stirring frequently, for another 4 minutes.
- Stir in the cooking sherry to deglaze the vegetables, cook for 30 seconds, then add the rice. Stir the rice for about 4 minutes, then stir in the diced tomatoes, seitan, beans, bay leaf, all of the herbs, and the salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, pour in the vegetable broth, and return to a simmer. Taste the broth and adjust the salt and pepper to taste.
- If using a Dutch Oven, cover and place in oven for 30-35 minutes, until the rice is tender. If using a pot, transfer to a deep casserole dish, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and bake for 30-35 minutes. If using brown rice, increase the baking time to 40-45 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, stir the jambalaya, then cover and allow to sit for about 10 minutes before serving.

Wow! Isa hit one out of the park with this recipe! I'm an experienced cook and I thought this recipe had a lot of ingredients and a little more work than your average dish but it's WORTH IT!!<br/><br/>Awesome flavor, on so many levels! We couldn't stop eating it. Perfect mixture of the seitan, beans, rice and spice.

When I was little, I wanted to grow up to be a chef. I grew up to be a doctor instead, but I still love to cook and eat! I especially love recipes that make use of fresh vegetables.
