Cajun Rice
CDKitchen https://www.cdkitchen.com
Serves/Makes: 4 | Ready In: 30-60 minutes
Ingredients:
1 can (15 ounce size) diced tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup long-grain white rice
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions:
Drain the tomatoes and reserve the liquid. Add enough water to the tomato liquid to make 1 1/2 cups. Set aside the tomatoes and liquid.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. When hot, add the onions, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft, about 4 minutes.
Add the rice, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and cayenne to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute to coat the rice in the oil.
Add the reserved tomatoes and liquid to the skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the skillet, and cook for 20-30 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve hot.
