Servings: 4
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 500 g Beef mince
- 1 Onion Peeled and chopped
- 3 Cloves of garlic Peeled and crushed
- 4 Sticks of celery Cut into small chunks
- 3 Green peppers Cut into small chunks
- 4 tsp Cajun spice mix
- 200 g Long grain rice
- 4 tbsp Tomato puree
- 800 ml Beef stock
- 75 g Cheese Grated
To serve:
- 6 Spring onions (optional) Chopped
Heat the oil over a medium heat in a large, deep frying pan. Add the mince. Fry for 5 minutes until browned.
Add the onion, garlic, celery, green peppers, cajun spice mix and cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables are starting to soften.
Rinse your rice really well in a sieve (until the water coming out is clear) and then add to the pan, along with the stock, tomato puree and salt and pepper.
Give everything a good stir, pop the lid on and cook for 15 -20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the rice has soaked up the stock and is cooked through.
Preheat the grill to HIGH.
Fluff the rice up with a fork and sprinkle over the cheese. Pop under the grill to finish off for about 3-5 minutes.
Sprinkle on the spring onions if you’re using them.
