Cajun-style spicy rice

My 1st Recipe contribution to TT. Piece of piss to make.

1 table spoon of Tomato Puree
1lb Minced Beef
1 onion (chopped)
2 sticks of celery
spring onions
tomatoes
1 red or green pepper
1 teaspoon of paprika
1 teaspoon of thyme
1 teaspoon of oregano
1 clove of crushed garlic
1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
Tabasco sauce
salt & pepper
1 cup of long grain rice
1 pint of vegetable stock

Fry the mince off with the spices and add the chopped onions and garlic. Cook for 2 mins then add the chopped celery and pepper and cook for a further 2 mins.

Season and cook for a further 2 mins.

Add to the pan the cup of rice, tomato puree and stock - mix together.

Add as much or as little of the tabasco sauce as you want, cover & simmer (stir once or twice), until all the stock has been absorbed by the rice.

Add a few chopped fresh tomatoes and spring onions, mix in and serve.

Gosh, I'm suddenly hungry. When do we get invited over for dinner then?

yay 3Lions!! This is a great dish. FYI: goes well with scallop or shrimp bacon wrapped skewers. Its pretty self explanatory but here goes: wrap shrimp or scallops in american style bacon. put em on a skewer or one each on a toothpick. pan fry til done.

I've tasted this recipe cooked by the chef himself, and it was very good!
