GUMBO-STYLE RICE

A basic steamed rice for gumbo dishes

If you are making the gumbo for appetizer servings, make a 1/3 recipe. If you make this ahead, leave out the bell peppers, since they sour quickly.

Ingredients

(makes 6 cups)

500 g white rice, preferably converted
750 ml chicken stock, homemade or canned
15 g onions, very finely chopped
15 g celery, very finely chopped
10 g green bell pepper, very finely chopped.
20 g unsalted butter, melted
2.5 ml salt
0.5 ml garlic powder
pinch white pepper, cayenne and black pepper

Procedure

Preheat the oven to 175C
Combine all the ingredients in a 12 x 22cm loaf pan. Seal the pan snugly with aluminum foil. Bake until the rice is tender, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Notes

You can use the rice right away, or leave it in the oven to stay warm for a couple of hours. If you save it longer than that, reheat in the top of a double boiler or stir it in a skillet with a little butter.
