Notes from the kitchen
- Let the covered skillet sit off the heat for 5 minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork.
- Ensure the skillet lid seals tightly so the rice cooks evenly without drying out.
- Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by Cajun Creole; regional versions vary.
- Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
