Yield: Makes 9½ cups
Time: 70 minutes
  • 1⅓ cups dry brown rice
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • ½ cup no-salt-added tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons salt-free Cajun seasoning
  • 2 15-oz. cans no-salt-added black- eyed peas, rinsed and drained
  • 2 14.5-oz. cans no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup sliced scallions
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Hot pepper sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan combine rice and 4 cups water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 30 minutes or until rice is nearly tender.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large pot cook onion, bell pepper, and celery over medium 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Add tomato paste and Cajun seasoning; cook and stir 1 minute. Add black-eyed peas, tomatoes, broth, and paprika. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes. Drain any water from the rice; add rice to vegetables. Cook 15 minutes more or until jambalaya is thick. Season with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle with scallions and parsley. If desired, serve with hot sauce.
