Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a large stockpot over medium heat, drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add 1 pound of chopped andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
-
Step 2.
Add the diced red and green bell peppers and chopped red onion to the same pot. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add the undrained can of diced tomatoes, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, and 5 minced garlic cloves. Stir well to combine.
-
Step 3.
Add 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, 2 teaspoons dried thyme, 2 teaspoons paprika, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 1½ teaspoons celery salt, 3 bay leaves, and 3 cups of vegetable broth. Stir to combine, then return the cooked sausage to the pot along with 1½ cups uncooked white rice. Stir again and bring to a simmer. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
-
Step 4.
Once the rice is cooked, add 1 pound of peeled and deveined medium raw shrimp to the pot. Stir to combine, then remove from the heat. The residual heat will cook the shrimp. Set the jambalaya aside.
-
Step 5.
While the jambalaya is cooking, in a separate stockpot over medium heat, add the cabbage leaves and the remaining 3 cups of vegetable broth. Cook until the cabbage leaves are softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain the leaves and let them cool slightly.
-
Step 6.
Lightly oil a baking dish with vegetable oil. Place about ¼ cup of the jambalaya mixture in the center of each cabbage leaf. Fold the sides over the filling and roll up tightly. Place the rolls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
-
Step 7.
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup tomato sauce, the remaining ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning, and salt and black pepper to taste. Stir until well combined.
-
Step 8.
Pour the tomato sauce mixture evenly over the cabbage rolls. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes, until heated through. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
