Dirty rice is a spiced Cajun rice dish that usually gets its dirty colour from finely chopped protein! We have paired our simplified “dirty rice” with lime chicken and fresh summer toppings of mango and capsicum.
1. Place rice in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and rinse.
2. Zest lime (wedge afterwards). Slice chicken in half lengthways. Coat with lime zest, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tbsp oil, salt and pepper. Heat frypan over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp oil. Cook in pan for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through. Set aside.
3. Dice avocado, mango and capsicum. Set aside.
4. Reheat frypan (or use a new pan) over medium heat with 1 tbsp oil. Dice onion and celery, add to pan as you go along with 1/2 tbsp Cajun seasoning and 1 tsp cumin. Cook for 4 minutes until softened.
5. Take pan off heat. Add cooked rice to pan and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Slice chicken. Divide among plates with rice and fresh toppings. Squeeze lime juice over top.
