Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons canola oil

  • 1 - red bell pepper, cored, seeded, chopped
  • 3 - celery stalks, sliced
  • 3 - garlic clovves, minced or pressed

How To Make cajun catfish and rice

  • Step 1
    In a large skillet, preferably cast-iron, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell peppers, celery and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and beginning to soften, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Add the rice and cook, stirring, until evenly coated with oil, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the broth, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco, bring to a boil, cover and cook over low heat for 5 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Meanwhile, rinse the catfish and pat dry. With a sharp knife, trim the white or grayish fat from the skin side and edges of each fillet. Cut the catfish into 1-inch strips.
  • Step 4
    Lay the catfish strips over the rice, cover and continue cooking until the rice is tender to the bite and the catfish is opaque through, 15 to 20 minutes longer.
