Method

  • To cook the white rice, in a saucepan, add 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of cold water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stand, covered for 5 minutes. If you are not sure how, we have a helpful “How to Cook rice section” to make you a pro. If you would like to use a brown rice in this recipe, simply add an additional ½ a cup of water.

    Tip: For a quicker alternative, we also have a range of ready rices, that are ready to eat in 90 seconds!

  • In a small bowl mix all Cajun seasoning ingredients together. TIP: You can use a ready prepared Cajun spice mix.

  • Add vegetables and gently cook for 2 - 3 minutes.

  • Sprinkle in 1 and ½ teaspoon of the seasoning and stir then add tomato paste and pour in the stock.
