Creole Red Rice
Creole Red Rice
Cook Time: 25 Minutes
Serves: 8
Ingredients:
• 2 oz slab bacon, diced
• 1 T. oil
• ½ onion, diced
• ½ bell pepper, diced
• 1 stalk celery, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 T. Cajun seasoning
• 1 C. pureed tomato
• 1 C. white rice
• 2 C. water
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 sprigs thyme
• Salt and pepper
Preparation:
1. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat. Add the bacon and render off the fat and cook near crisp. Add the onion, pepper, and celery and cook for 4-5 minutes; add garlic and cook for 2 more minutes.
2. When the garlic is fragrant, add the rice, pureed tomato, water, Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Bring rice to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook until the rice is done (15-20 minutes), stirring occasionally.
Or
Follow the same instructions in a pressure cooker on the saute setting and instead of bringing the rice to a boil, cover up the pressure cooker, set the timer to 6 minutes on high pressure and let the pressure release naturally.
