  • 150 g basmati rice
  • 1ΒΌ tsp Cajun seasoning
  • pinch of salt

  • 500 ml chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • Gently bring to a boil and then move to the smallest ring, turn down to the lowest heat and boil for around 15mins, until the rice is cooked. Checking occasionally to ensure the rice isn't boiling dry.
  • Whilst the rice is cooking, in a small frying pan, heat the oil and gently fry the onion, peppers and garlic. You can add a couple of splashes of water, this will help the onions not to burn.
