How to Make Cajun Rice
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and Cajun seasoning; cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
- Add the long-grain rice and toast for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly golden.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
- Serve hot as a side dish or as a base for your favorite Cajun creations!
