Interested in wacky experimental vegan recipes which you can only make living in specific US states? Well here is my favorite new recipe:

1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice

14 oz (whole package) of vegan soy longanzia (found here: https://elburrito.com/products/non-gmo-soy-longaniza/)

½ large onion, chopped

1 pasilla or even spicer dried pepper, seeded and chopped

2 stalks chopped celery

1.5 cups vegtable broth

4 cloves garlic

1 tablespoon miso paste

1 1/2 teaspoons cajun seasoning (OKAY IF YOU CAN TOLERATE HEAT THAN USE WAY MORE, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT)

½ teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon dried oregano

Stir tomatoes with juice, seitan, sausage, onion, pasilla, celery, vegetable broth, garlic, miso paste, Cajun seasoning, thyme, and oregano into crockpot/ slowcooker/ dutch oven

Cook on Low for 4 hours. Add rice to the crock and cook on High until rice is cooked through, about 30 minutes more. Garnish with parsley.

I swear it's delicious, for some reason generic cajun seasoning goes great with the mild chili lime of the soy longanzia.
