Cajun Rice

What is it?

Ground pork, Cajun spices, and a sofrito of peppers, onions, and celery form the backbone of this seasoned rice side. It's built on the Louisiana holy trinity, with bell pepper, onion, and celery softened first, then rice and broth added in. Compared with plain white rice on a fast-food menu, this one has visible bits of pork and a deeper, more savory profile. The spice mix leans on garlic, paprika, cayenne, and onion, so each spoonful carries a little heat without turning into a sauce.
