FLUFFY RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, and cover.
FRAGRANT VEGGIES
Place the cajun spice mix and 20ml of water in a bowl. Mix to combine until a runny paste. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add ¼ of the diced onion and fry until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add 80ml of water. Once simmering, add the cajun slurry, and simmer until reduced and thickened, 1-2 minutes. Loosen with a splash of warm water if it’s too thick for your liking. Remove from the pan, season, and cover.
SIZZLING STEAK
Pat the pork neck steak dry with paper towel and season. Return the pan, wiped down, to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the pork until cooked through and golden, 4-6 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, cover with tinfoil, and rest for 5 minutes.
SPICY GRAVY
Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the carrot chunks and the remaining onion. Fry until slightly softened, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 2-3 minutes, add the peas. Add the cooked rice and ½ the chopped parsley. Mix until combined. Season.
YUMMY YUM!
