Step 1

Bring 2.5 cups of the vegetable stock to a boil in a saucepan, add salt and ground black pepper to taste, and add the raw rice. Once the stock comes back to a boil, add the rice, cover, and cook for 8 minutes.

Step 2

While the rice is cooking, in a large pot, heat the oil. Add the onions, celery, bell peppers, garlic and sage, add a dash of salt and ground black pepper, and saute for about five minutes until the vegetables are soft but not colored. Add the sausage and saute for a couple of minutes.

Step 3

Add the smoked paprika and liquid aminos and stir well, then fold in the cooked rice, the remaining half cup of vegetable stock, and the Cajun seasoning. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 4

Stir in the parsley and serve hot.
