Creole Rice Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Creole Rice Recipe, first remove the veins and seeds from 2 large, ripe red peppers and chop them fine. Peel 1 large white onion and chop fine with 1/4 of a pound of raw, lean ham. Melt in a saucepan 2 tablespoonfuls of butter, and when hot add the peppers, onion, and ham. Let them cook, stirring frequently, for ten minutes. Add 1 cupful of well washed and drained rice and cook five minutes, then add 3 cupfuls of strong beef soup or broth. Cover and cook slowly for half an hour.

Peel and cut small 4 or 5 large tomatoes (or use about 1/3 of a can), add them to the rice with 1 teaspoonful of salt. Cover and cook slowly, watching that the rice does not stick to the bottom of the pan. When it is tender stir in with a fork 1 tablespoonful of butter and let it stand five minutes longer, then serve.
