My daughter is a pretty picky eater but she loves rice. She could eat it every day. My husband made this one day hoping it would get her to eat different things, and it totally worked. It's her favorite thing to have for breakfast. It's so easy to make but sooooo yummy!

Fried rice with a hint from the Latino cuisine.

I can eat this as a meal all by itself. It is also good as a side dish. You can spice it up as much as you like to your taste. #Cajun

A true southern yummy dish! Traditional cajun dirty rice is usually made with chicken livers and gizzards. I personally dont care for em so I use the boudain that contains a small amount of pork liver that I cant see mixed in with the sausage lol Still comes out extremely good!

#Win #Week9 #Jan #W3Couple of years ago, I gave a lecture at the University of Louisiana. New Orleans. Cajun is an ethnic group in French speaking Louisiana. Louisiana cuisine is almost like our hometown cuisine. Recipes include rice, spices, hot chili peppers. We dines at the very popular chef Emeril Lagassi ‘s restaurant. He made Cajun rice for us without the meat. Aromatic flavorful spicy hot rice with lots of vegetables. We loved it. For the first time I cooked it in my very own kitchen. time. A fusion recipe with Indian flavor. Instead of parsley I added coriander. Cajun rice is also popularly knows as dirty rice as the meat and fishy sauce included give the rice a dirty brown color. My recipe is not dirty; I didn't add meat or fish sauce. This is the vegetarian version of Cajun dirty rice

Firstly, you may notice a difference in my recipe in contrast to the "traditional" one. Chicken giblets are bit rich for my palette and the chicken thighs to me are a better substitute and still make it "dirty". We don't have the same type of sausage (Andouille) that we get in Texas/Louisiana here in New Zealand, so the mince is a nice substitute and the shrimp (prawns)...well why not?!? Everything is better with shrimp.

I eat these regularly, they're quick and easy to make and can be eaten for breakfast or as a snack. They can be stored in the fridge for up to 7 days or frozen for a month. Variations are endless it all depends on what's in the fridge ;)

I had a bag of dry beans from the panic buying spree when the pandemic lockdowns began, but I never figured out what to do with them before now. I managed to score some Andouille sausage somewhere and found this recipe that seems like it would work with what I got. 🇺🇲 #cajun

Red Beans and rice is a Cajun dish that used to be cooked on wash day. It's a meal you put on and slow cook for hours that way you can take care of the laundry! These days it is still a major part of Cajun cuisine. When money is tight I cook this using just 2 lbs of Manda sausage instead of using andoullie & Sausage. It's a good bargain but still flavorful sausage. The family can eat this for a few days served differently.You can easily half this recipe to cook only one pound of beans. I have a large family and what's left over I will use to make chilli.

This is my husband's creation, he's made it for years. Now that I do all the cooking, I make it. I realize it's not an original recipe, only a twist on something pre-made, but it is still delicious either way! *For a non-spicy version use the Kielbasa and no Cajun seasoning, for a little bit of spice use the Andoullie. Also tastes great with chicken.

I had some left over rice in the fridge the other day that I turned into fried rice. This morning I decided to cook a batch of brown rice before breakfast, and the ingredients I threw together for this recipe sort of popped into my head for breakfast.

I love rice but I prefer to add vegetables. This recipe calls for celery, carrots, onions, and hot peppers, but you can substitute any other vegetables. Rice freezes really well so I like to make a big batch and then freeze in 1-2 cup amounts.
