Step 1
Start by drizzling a little olive oil in the bottom of your slow cooker. Then, add the tomatoes with their juice, seitan, vegan sausage, chopped onion, green bell pepper, celery, vegetable broth, garlic, miso paste, Cajun seasoning, thyme, and oregano. Give everything a good stir to combine. Cover and let it cook on low for about 4 hours. After that, stir in the rice, turn the heat up to high, and cook until the rice is tender, which should take around 30 minutes. Once it’s all done, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top for a nice touch before serving.
