- YOU CAN ALSO ADD fresh shrimp, CAJUN STYLE OR smoked sausage TO THIS RECIPE. IF U DO SO, ADD 1/2 PKG SAUSAGE (SLICED) OR 1 -1 1/2 LBS OF SHRIMP.. MY FRIEND SOMETIMES ADDS WHITE MEAT chicken TO HERS AS WELL.. shopping list
How to make it
- COOK BACON OVER MEDIUM HEAT UNTIL CRISP. REMOVE BACON AND CRUMBLE.
- SAUTE CHOPPED ONIONS IN BACON DRIPPINGS OVER MED HEAT.
- ADD TOMATO PASTE AND DICED TOMATOES, STIRRING UNTIL SMOOTH.
- GRADUALLY ADD CHICKEN BROTH, STILL IN SUGAR, SALT, PEPPER AND PARSLEY.
- BRING TO A BOIL, REDUCE AND SIMMER, STIRRING OCCASIONALLY FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES.
- COMBINE MIXTURE WITH UNCOOKED RICE AND CRUMBLED BACON AND PLACE IN A RICE STEAMER OR COOK ON YOUR STOVE TOP.
- COOK UNTIL DONE. MAKE SURE U STIR ABOUT EVERY 15 MINUTES WHILE THIS IS COOKING.
- IF U COOK IN A STEAMER IT TAKES ABOUT AN HOUR, ON TOP OF THE STOVE TAKES ALOT LESS TIME. JUST MAKE SURE TO COMBINE YOUR MIXTURE WITH UNCOOKED RICE, THEN COOK..
- *COOK 2 CUPS OF RICE WITH 4 - 4 1/2 CUPS WATER*
- *THIS ISNT MY PICTURE BUT SIMILAR TO MINE, MY RED RICE HAS MORE RED*
