***SEASONING MIX***

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon dried sage

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon celery seed

1/8 teaspoon cayenne

1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

***REMAINING INGREDIENTS***

14 ounces bulk-style soy " sausage "

2 tablespoons olive oil plus

1 1/2 cups uncooked long-grain brown rice

OR brown basmati rice

35 ounces canned whole tomatoes -- drained and chopped

3 cups vegetable broth

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

 

MAKES 5 CUPS DAIRY-FREE

 

In Louisiana, this dish is usually made with white rice and a dark meat

like ground pork or chicken livers, which is why its often called ' " dirty "

rice. This vegetarian version uses long-grain brown or basmati rice, soy

" sausage, " herbs. spices and other ingredients that provide a satisfying,

authentic flavor. It's great as a side dish or as a stuffing for zucchini,

yellow squash, bell peppers or chayotes (a squash-like vegetable).

 

Seasoning mix: In a cup, mix all ingredients and set aside.

 

Soy " sausage " tends to be very sticky, so wet your hands and crumble it

onto a large platter. In large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons oil over

medium-high heat. Add crumbled soy " sausage " and cook, stirring, until

lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add onion and seasoning mix and cook

until onion is translucent, about 6 minutes. Stir in garlic, celery and

bell pepper and mix well.

 

Stir in rice and remaining 1 teaspoon oil and cook, stirring, 5 minutes.

Stir in tomatoes, then add broth. Increase heat to high and bring to a

boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until liquid has been absorbed,

about 35 minutes.

 

Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Fluff with fork, then

stir in cilantro. Stuff vegetable of choice and bake according to

directions (see separate recipe for " Stuff it your way " ), or serve as a

side dish.

Herbed Cornbread Stuffing With Seitan

 

Recipe By : Vegetarian Times Magazine, November 1999, page 60

Serving Size : 18 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Side Dishes Vegetables

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon olive oil plus

1 teaspoon olive oil

2 medium onions -- diced

12 ounces packaged seitan

4 medium garlic cloves -- minced

4 large celery stalks -- diced

1 medium green bell pepper -- diced

10 ounces button or cremini mushrooms -- chopped (3 cups)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage

1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

4 cups crumbled Cornbread Stuffing Base

(see separate recipe)

2 teaspoons tamari or soy sauce -- or to taste

2 teaspoons umeboshi vinegar -- or to taste

1/2 cup vegetable broth -- or as needed

 

MAKES 9 CUPS DAIRY-FREE

 

Fresh sage and rosemary, sauted vegetables and a savory cornbread base make

this dressing one that always satisfies my yearning for a traditional

Thanksgiving stuffing. Use it to stuff eggplant or any of the scrumptious

types of squashes available in the autumn, such as delicata, acorn or sweet

dumpling.

 

In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring

often, until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add seitan and cook 2 minutes.

Stir in garlic, celery, bell pepper, mushrooms, sage, rosemary, salt and

pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Stir in parsley and

remove pan from heat.

 

In large bowl, combine cooked vegetables, cornbread, tamari and vinegar and

mix well. Stir in enough broth so that stuffing is moist enough to hold

together when pressed but not soggy. Adjust seasoning to taste with

tamari, vinegar, salt and pepper. Stuff vegetable of choice and bake

according to directions (see separate recipe " Stuff it your way " ), or serve

as a side dish.
