Cajun Rice
This recipe uses Red Ape Cinnamon® Mardi Gras Shake
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups long grain brown rice
- 3 cups veggie broth
- 1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes
- – or 4 roma tomatoes
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 carrots
- 6 mushrooms
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp Mardi Gras Shake™
- 2 Tbsp white wine optional
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Soak the rice in hot water for 10 minutes and drain. In a food processor or blender combine the tomatoes, garlic, ½ the onion, and the Cajun spices and blend well. Finely chop the remainder of the onion, and thinly slice the carrots and mushrooms. In a wok or large skillet, heat the oil on medium. Add the rice and cook for 6-8 minutes, constantly stirring. Add the tomato mixture and cook until the liquid is absorbed, stirring frequently (approximately 8 minutes). Add the carrots, onions, mushrooms and mix well. Add the veggie broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the wine, stir it up, turn off the heat and cover for 10 more minutes.
- This is one of those dishes that you have to keep an eye on. Make sure that your wine glass is full while cooking this one- if you turn your back to open up another bottle, you may have burnt the rice.
