Traditionally, jambalaya is a combination of rice, beans, meat, seafood,
and spices. This vegeterian version retains that authentic Creole flavor.
It's fairly easy to prepare, which makes it a great dish to serve for
dinner anytime. And the recipe can be doubled to feed a crowd. By JAN
WOLFF, a chef and cooking teacher who uses natural ingredients and
specializes in vegan and macrobiotic cuisine.
