Stir in peas, tomatoes, broth, Cajun seasoning and cayenne pepper. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and sauce is slightly thickened.

Recipe Tips
If you’re making this jambalaya for children, or others who don’t love spice, use less Cajun seasoning than what’s called for in the recipe and omit the cayenne pepper.
Substitute vegetable-based chicken or sausage protein for black-eyed peas, if desired.
