Vegan Jambalaya is just the right meal for a cold fall or winter evening. This slow cooker recipe pairs perfectly with salad and a glass of wine.

Vegan Jambalaya can be as spicy as you want.

November is Vegan Awareness Month, and I'm sharing this jumping Vegan Jambalaya recipe with you. It takes just a few minutes to put together and then you let the flavors meld in the slow cooker all day. Yum! Although I'm not vegetarian, I love to eat vegetarian meals a few times a week. We rotate our foods so we aren't eating the same ones every day. Do you do that? This meal is not only vegan, it's gluten free. Gluten and dairy both create health problems for me, so I avoid them if at all possible.

The original recipe comes from Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker (affiliate link) by Robin Robertson. Robertson's recipe calls for kidney beans, but since they do not agree with me, I substituted black beans. The recipe also called for cooking the green peppers with the onions and putting them in the slow cooker right away. I saved about half of the onions and green peppers (after cooking) and added them a few minutes before serving. That kept them just a little crisp, too. Serve over rice, if desired. Add a Green Salad or some Wilted Kale and you have an amazing supper.

What You Need

You will need a knife, cutting board, sauté pan, colander, measuring cups and spoons, and a slow cooker. Get yourself the best tools you can afford and you'll never be sorry.
