In Creole cooking there is something called 'The Holy Trinity'. This consists of onions, peppers and celery, the base for much of the regional cajun cuisines of Louisiana. Here it is used as the flavour foundation for one of our favorites - Dirty Rice!

1
Add the rice, a pinch of salt and pepper and 350ml [700m] water to a pot with a lid and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, for 10-15 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked
Once cooked, remove from the heat and keep covered

Meanwhile, peel and chop the onion[s] roughly
Chop the celery roughly
Deseed the pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and cut into bite-size pieces
3
Heat a large, wide-based pan with a matching lid (preferably non-stick) with 1 tbsp [2 tbsp] vegetable oil over a high heat
Once hot, add the onions, celery and green pepper

6
Once the rice is cooked, add it to the pan
