A flavorful and easy-to-make rice dish inspired by Creole cuisine, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown; keep the heat moderate.
Add the chopped celery, green onion, yellow onion, and red bell pepper to the saucepan and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and Creole seasoning, mixing well.
Use the back of the spatula to slightly crush the tomatoes for a smoother texture.
Add the rice and water, stirring to combine.
Ensure the rice is evenly distributed in the liquid for uniform cooking.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to retain steam.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve warm.
Let the rice sit covered for 5 minutes after cooking for better texture.
