Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the bell pepper, onion, and celery and sauté for approximately 5 minutes.
Add the chili powder, sage, red pepper flakes, thyme, cayenne (if using), garlic, tomatoes, bay leaves, beans, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in the rice and slowly add 3 cups of water. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until rice absorbs wa- ter and is tender, stirring occasionally, about 35 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine the sausage, seitan, oil, and Cajun seasoning. Mix well to coat. Once rice is almost done, add the sausage mixture to the skillet and mix well. Add salt to taste.
