Thank you for spicing up our shrimp stir fry!

It makes 2 ounces not a cup. I prefer thyme to oregano. If you need a dry seasoning I suppose it’s fine As is but if I have fresh garlic onion and thyme I’ll substitute those. Gumbo is labor intensive so I prefer fresh ingredients whenever possible.

A Lowcountry favorite that likely descended from West African <a href="https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020288-jollof-rice">jollof rice</a>, this classic tomato and rice dish is also sometimes called Carolina red rice – or simply red rice. It often contains sausage, but this version, inspired by how the chef Millie Peartree’s mother, Millie Bell, used to make it, relies on bacon for its depth. (Still, if you’d like to add sausage, just let it sear with the vegetables in Step 3.) To start, the “holy trinity” (bell pepper, onion and celery) is cooked in the bacon fat, infusing the cooking liquid. Then, the rice is baked to ensure it’s perfectly cooked. Serve this alongside baked chicken or ham, green beans or collard greens, for a full, satisfying meal.

Charleston Red Rice

Nonstick cooking spray

bacon

Vidalia

celery ribs, chopped

green bell pepper, chopped

kosher salt,

garlic cloves,

tomato purée

chicken stock or water, plus more as needed

hot sauce

Cajun seasoning

sugar

Parsley leaves,

Heat oven to 350 degrees and coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

In a large (12-inch) heavy skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon until crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the bacon to paper towels to drain, leaving behind drippings. Crumble the bacon and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, celery, bell pepper and 1 teaspoon salt, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, another 30 seconds.

To the skillet, add the rinsed rice. Stir and toast the rice for 30 seconds. Add the crumbled bacon, tomato purée, stock, hot sauce, Cajun seasoning, sugar, pepper and cayenne.

Bring the rice and vegetables to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes. Taste and add salt, if needed.

Carefully transfer ingredients to the greased baking dish. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil, and bake until the rice is tender, about 40 to 50 minutes. Check the rice after about 30 minutes to make sure all the liquid is absorbed, and the rice is tender. (If it's too dry or not cooked all the way through, add a few tablespoons of water or stock at a time, if necessary, and cook a little longer.) Fluff with a fork before serving and garnish with parsley leaves.

This delicious and comforting cajun side dish is not only quick and easy to make in your pressure cooker but it is chock full of the flavors of New Orleans!

Steak and Cajun potatoes make a tasty meal for two – perfect for special occasions like Valentine's

Smoky steak with Cajun potatoes & spicy slaw

Maris Piper potatoes

olive oil

bavette steak

coriander

red cabbage

red onion

tbsp soured cream

½ tbsp chipotle chilli paste

Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the potatoes and cook for 5 mins. Drain and leave to steam-dry in the <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/test-five-best-colanders">colander</a> for a few minutes. Toss the potatoes with the Cajun seasoning, half the oil and a good pinch of salt. Tip onto a <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/kimberley-wilsons-top-5-baking-trays">baking tray</a> and roast for 25-30 mins or until golden and crisp, tossing halfway through.

To make the slaw, combine the cabbage, onion, mayonnaise, soured cream and&nbsp;chipotle paste in a bowl until the cabbage and onion are well coated. Set aside.

Rub the steak with the remaining oil and season both sides. Heat a <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/test-five-best-griddle-pans">griddle pan</a> or non-stick frying pan over a high heat until very hot. Add the steak to the pan, cook for 2 mins on one side, then 3 mins on the other.

Grilled Cajun Turkey Breast with a savory and spicy finish. Add butter just under the skin for more flavor and moisture. A great Thanksgiving recipe for a small crowd or as alternative to a large turkey.

Cajun Grilled Turkey Breast Recipe

turkey breast roast ((should be two breasts))

unsalted butter

Cajun seasoning, plus 1 teaspoon for butter

Preheat the Grill

Prepare grill for direct/indirect (or two-zone cooking). Target 350 degrees Fahrenheit in the cooking chamber.

Season Turkey

Place 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning in the butter and mix. Using your fingers, slowly separate the skin from the meat on each breast to make a pocket. Add the butter into the pocket and press down to make smooth. Finish seasoning the rest of the breast with the 1/4 cup of Cajun rub.

Grill Each Side

Place the seasoned turkey breast over the direct heat skin side down. Grill 6 - 8 minutes or until the skin shows a little browning. Flip and grill the other side of the turkey for 4 - 6 minutes. Once a little browning occurs, move to indirect side of heat.

Indirect Grilling

Continue grilling turkey breast over indirect heat until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the breast reads between 160 to 165 degrees Fahrenheit using an instant read thermometer. This should take between 30 - 45 minutes depending on the size of the breast.

Rest and Serve

Remove the breast from the grill, and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve with your favorite sides.

This full sheet-pan dinner, ready in 30 minutes, couldn’t be any smarter or easier. Here, salmon, potatoes and asparagus are all added to the same tray at different points for a one-pan meal that makes cleanup seamless. A marinade infused with Cajun seasoning and paprika infuses the salmon, adding smokiness and some color. The bite in the asparagus plays off the flaky tenderness of the salmon, and the baby potatoes round it out. This meal stands on its own, but you could also put the leftovers over lettuce for a lunch salad the next day.

Sheet-Pan Cajun Salmon

salmon

smoked paprika

Kosher salt and black pepper

baby potatoes

asparagus stalks, trimmed (see Tip)

garlic cloves, chopped

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place salmon on a plate, skin side up. Using a sharp knife, make a cut into the skin about 1/8-inch deep, in 3 different places, making sure not to cut all the way through the flesh. In a medium bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons olive oil with the Cajun seasoning, paprika and 1 teaspoon salt. Pour over the salmon to coat it on both sides and set aside to marinate.

To a rimmed sheet pan, add potatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Toss to coat and roast for about 15 minutes until tender. (Larger potatoes may take longer.)

As potatoes roast, toss the asparagus with the garlic, the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.

Move the potatoes to one end of the pan and place salmon skin side up next to them. Add asparagus in an even layer to the other end of the pan, and roast everything together for 10 to 13 minutes, until the asparagus is tender and the salmon is cooked to taste. If you’d like the skin to be crispy, you can transfer the vegetables from the pan to a serving platter and pop the fish under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve hot.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs to the skillet but do not overcrowd the pan. Cooke in batches if they don't all fit.
