Seitan Jambalaya with white beans and red kidney beans. This protein rich meal offers a delicious plant-based Louisiana-style option. You can also use brown rice for the dish but you’ll have to adjust for a longer cooking time to ensure the rice is done. You may also try substituting the seitan for tempeh.
