How to Make Cajun Creole Style Rice
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, and 1/2 cup chopped celery. Saute until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning, and 1 cup long-grain rice. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to toast the rice.
- Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option) and 1 cup of water. Add 1/4 cup chopped green onions and 1/4 cup chopped parsley. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Do not lift the lid during cooking.
- Fluff with a fork before serving. Garnish with additional green onions and parsley if desired.
