A flavorful and hearty Cajun-inspired rice dish perfect for gatherings.
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the ground pork.
Ensure the pork is evenly browned for a rich flavor.
Add the chopped onion, diced bell pepper, and sliced celery to the pot, and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the vegetables from sticking.
Mix in the minced garlic and Cajun seasoning, cooking for another minute to release the aromas.
Adding the seasoning at this stage enhances its flavor.
Pour in 2 cups of beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, thyme, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Stir in the cooked rice, green onion, and parsley, ensuring everything is well combined.
Use a fork to fluff the rice before adding it for a better texture.
Serve the dish warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a vibrant touch to the presentation.
