Recipes from Cajun Country :: Cajun Potato, Noodle and Rice Dishes
1 lb. bacon 1 green bell pepper, diced 3 small onions, chopped 2 1/2 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. pepper 2 c. canned tomatoes 1 c. raw rice (not quick-cooking) Simmer vegetables and spices in a saucepan. At the same time, fry the bacon. When bacon is done, remove from pan and crumble into small pieces. Drain off all but 3 Tbsp. of fat, to which add the raw rice. Let rice brown lightly. Add the vegetables and bacon; let simmer over very low heat for 1/2 an hour. Check after 20 mins. to see if it is drying out. If so, add more tomatoes, or some water, or a combination of both.
