1/2 Lb meat, some combination of pork chops chicken, Andouille, or smoked or Italian sausage
2 medium onions ,
2 bell peppers, and/or bunch scallions
Cajun/Creole spice (you can approximate
with equal amounts of black, Cayenne, and white pepper; some garlic
powder, and salt)
2 Tbsp. parsley
2 C uncooked rice
If the meat has bones, boil it until it's reasonably easy to get it off
the bone. (save the stock)
Dice up meat, fry it until some fat is rendered, add diced up veggies, fry until
they are coated with fat and begin to soften. Add some spice and herbs, toss
around until the meat and veggies are coated. Add water, bring to a boil.
Boil/simmer until the meat is over half done. (taste the stock occasionally
to make sure the spices are ok) Add the rice and cook until the rice is
done
Scientists often have a naive faith that if only they could
discover enough facts about a problem, these facts would somehow arrange
themselves in a compelling and true solution.
