Cajun catfish and rice

Cajun dishes are often time-consuming to make, requiring long simmers over a low flame. But this Cajun catfish and rice is different. The recipe that follows sees tender catfish fillets coated in a crisp cornmeal coating seasoned with spices. A side of dirty rice completes the meal, and the whole thing takes just an hour to prepare.

Dirty rice might not sound that appetizing at first, but behind this slightly odd name hides a rich, flavorful side dish. Rice is sautéed with onion, pepper and chicken livers for heaps of flavor. It may soon become a household favorite.
