So I have never had this dish! Most dishes I cook I have tasted a variant of it so I know how it should taste when I make it, but Cajun/Creole/Louisiana food in general is something I’ve never had the pleasure of trying first hand but the spices always look really tasty. Does anyone have a good recipe to share with me, with maybe some notes about how it should taste? I usually don’t cook with meat at home, so meat substitutes would be useful, but I still use chicken stock and enjoy cooking with sausages like andouille and kielbasas. I think my kitchen is pretty well stocked other than the meat bit! I do lack an instant pot, but I’ve got a Dutch oven and a slow cooker and a rice cooker, etc.

We make Alton Brown's recipe frequently at my house.

We tend to skip on the 3-day pickled pork journey in favor of a much easier kielbasa or andouille sausage. You might be able to try vegetarian sausages, but I don't know how well they'll hold up to the 2 hour cook time.

We use a ghost pepper hot sauce for a nice kick, but halve the amount to a 1/2 teaspoon to keep things reasonable.

It's spicy, savory, and "earthy" with the green peppers, celery, and bay leaves.

The rice recipe he gives is my go to for rice in general, too. I really like fluffy, non-sticky result of using basmati for it.
