    Cajun-Style Vegan Red Beans and Rice

    If there’s one thing Louisianians can agree on, it’s that we love food. You can see this deep love reflected unquestionably in the way that literally every single event we have revolves around food. Wedding? Buffet time. Mardi Gras? By all means, let’s eat all the king cake we can stuff in our faces. Just ran a 5K downtown? No worries, there’s surely lots of beer and fried food waiting for you at the finish line.

    If you’ve ever visited New Orleans or somewhere else down here in the deep South, then you certainly already know all this. Your Southern friend or host probably made you a huge feast when you visited, and the highlights of your trip were without a doubt all the delicious restaurants you visited. There ain’t no going hungry here.

    I know I always talk about wanting to move away after graduation, but in reality I will always hold my home state of Louisiana close to my heart. We love to love, and we love hard. Everyone is family. We turn everything into party (see: Mardi Gras). But most importantly, we show love with our food. And hot damn, do we know how to cook.

    Hands down, the food down here is some of the best in the world. Not just at your fancy restaurants, but in family homes across the state, where home-cooking is still respected and well-loved. There are lots of vegetable gardens and people making their recipes from scratch.

    Of course, when you think of classic Southern food, it’s not healthy. Fried fish, chicken and potatoes (basically fried everything), creamy soups and étouffée, meat and seafood in everything. Vegetables are usually soaked in grease. Not the most health-conscious-foodie-friendly cuisine, let alone vegan-friendly. That’s a whole other ball game.

    I have found a way to still enjoy the dishes I grew up on! Yes, it is possible to healthify and veganize these meaty, cheesy, downright artery-clogging dishes. After all, I truly believe the magic is in the spices and fresh herbs in our food. Oh, and the caramelized onions. ALWAYS caramelize your onions.

    My hope is that I can share these healthy versions of my favorite Cajun dishes to inspire people all over the world to have a bite of good Louisiana cookin’, as well as people here at home to cook the dishes they love in a healthier way for their families. After all, Louisiana is the unhealthiest state in the country, so if I can even be just a little part of reversing that, I’ve done my job!

    First up: vegan red beans and rice. OMG this was so good, I can’t even deal.

    A traditional red beans and rice recipe would be made with sausage, but we don’t need any of that here! I was honestly shocked when I tried my first bite of these; they tasted exactly like my childhood bowl of red beans and rice. It’s all in the spices!

    Without the sausage, this Cajun dish transforms into a hearty, satisfying, healthy meal full of fiber, whole grains, protein, and flavor, of course!💃🏼 Specifically with winter coming up, it’s the perfect warming dish to enjoy on a cold night snuggled on the couch.
