Wine Advice:
Pair this flavorful Vegetarian Jambalaya with a light-bodied red wine such as Pinot Noir or Beaujolais. The fruity and earthy notes in these wines will complement the vegetables and spices in the dish. If you prefer white wine, a crisp and slightly acidic Sauvignon Blanc would also be a delightful match.Nutritional Information
