How to Make Vegetarian Cajun Gumbo

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse 1 cup of long-grain white rice and place it in a large (9x13 inch) roasting pan or casserole dish.
  3. Pour 4 cups of vegetable broth over the rice.
  4. In a large bowl, combine: 1 (14-ounce) package of vegetarian sausage, chopped; 1 large onion, chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 green bell pepper, chopped; 1 red bell pepper, chopped; 2 celery stalks, chopped; 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained; 1 cup chopped okra (fresh or frozen); 1 bay leaf.
  5. Pour the vegetable mixture over the rice and broth in the roasting pan.
  6. Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil.
  7. Bake for 1 hour.
  8. Remove the foil and stir gently.
  9. Return the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil, stir, and check the rice for doneness. The rice should be tender and the liquid absorbed. If not, cover and bake for another 15-30 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
  11. Remove from oven, remove bay leaf, and serve hot. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
