Vegan Cajun Hoppin’ John

This dish is just spicy enough to enhance, rather than take away from, its great depth of flavor. Goes well with cornbread.

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil, or as needed
  • 3 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 (16 ounce) can red kidney beans, drained

  • 1 pinch smoked salt, or to taste
  • 1 pinch dill weed, or to taste
  • 1 pinch mustard powder, or to taste
  • 1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
  • 1 pinch dried savory, or to taste
