Order this list online

1 of 6 ingredients can go straight into the online basket in one action.

Anything sold by weight or volume is added as one pack, because this page does not know the pack size. Herbs counted in leaves or sprigs are one jar too: we list them dried, by the jar, not by the leaf. Adjust the quantities in the basket.

The basket opens in the online shop, which checks stock again and tells you what it could not add. Nothing is ordered until you check out there.

Preparation

Step by step, from pantry to plate.

  1. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clearer, then set it aside to drain.

  2. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic, and chop the tomatoes into small pieces.

  3. Heat a little water in a saucepan, then cook the onion for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 minute more.

  4. Add the tomatoes, a pinch of salt and pepper, and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring now and then, until the tomatoes break down into a saucy mixture.

  5. Stir in the kidney beans and a splash of water if needed, then cook for 5 to 7 minutes until hot and well combined. Remove the thyme sprigs before serving.

  6. Meanwhile, cook the rice in a saucepan of salted water according to the package time, then drain if needed.

  7. Serve the Creole veggie rougail over the rice, with a final pinch of pepper if desired.

Good to know

If the tomato mixture gets too thick, add a small splash of water to keep it saucy.

How these figures were worked out

Calculated from standard food composition tables for the raw ingredients as listed, before cooking. They are estimates of a recipe, not laboratory measurements of a finished dish.

Every figure here is for one serving at the quantities as written. The servings control changes the shopping quantities and leaves these figures alone.

These recipes are cooked in home kitchens, where the same boards, pans and utensils handle other foods. We cannot tell you what the dish you cook will contain. Read the label on every product you buy: the ingredient and allergen information on the pack is the authority, not this page.

No qualified reviewer has signed off these figures, so this page shows no vegan, gluten free or other dietary label. When one has, the labels return with their basis stated.
