Step 1

Cut the vegan sausages into round slices.

Step 2

Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large pot or skillet and heat over medium to high heat.

When hot, add the sliced vegan sausage and sauté for around 5 minutes until the sausage is lightly browned.

Step 4

Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the same pot or skillet you just cooked the sausage in, and then add the chopped onion, crushed garlic, bell peppers and celery. Sauté for around 5 minutes until the veggies are softened.

Step 6

Add crushed tomatoes, soy sauce, vegetable stock, long grain white rice, cajun seasoning, dried thyme, cayenne pepper and a bay leaf and stir in.

Step 7

Bring to a simmer and then reduce heat, cover and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so to make sure it doesn't burn, until the rice is cooked through.

Step 8

Add the vegan sausage back to the pot and stir it in. Remove the bay leaf.

Step 9

Taste test and add salt and pepper as needed or extra cajun seasoning.
