1 Tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 vegan Italian sausage, diced and/or crumbled
10-15 mild jalepenos, diced
2-4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 tsp file powder

1/2 can braised wheat gluten, drained and chopped
1 can dark red kidney beans, drained
2 cans finely diced tomatoes, drained
2 Tbsp salsa
2 dashes each liquid smoke and Tobasco

Heat the olive oil. Add the onion, sausage and diced jalepenos. Cook on medium-high for 5 minutes, or until the onions start to get translucent. Add the garlic, file powder and Cajun seasoning and cook for another minute, or until fragrant. Add the wheat gluten, beans, tomatoes, salsa and liquid smoke and cook for another few minutes, or until most of the moisture has evaporated. Mix in the rice and serve hot.
