3 garlic cloves - diced
1 Serrano pepper - diced small

1 cup Uncle Ben’s Basmati Rice
1 can diced tomatoes (28 oz.)
2 cups chicken stock
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tsp. Cajun seasoning

Dash hot sauce
Salt & pepper to taste

Save the following for the very end:
3 green onions - diced
1 cup prawns (peeled & deveined) optional but so tasty
1 Cilantro ( I used one bunch)

In a large dutch oven (this dish requires only one dish) heat pan first. Add oil, chicken and sausage and cook until ½ cooked.
Add celery, onions, anchovies, garlic, peppers and seasonings. Sauté until onions are transparent.
Add the remaining ingredients and cook until rice is tender. This takes approximately 15 minutes.
