Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ⅛ teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
• 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
• 1 pound catfish fillets
• 1 (16 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, with liquid
• 2 teaspoons dried minced onion

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the rice and return to a boil; reduce the heat. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Step 2

Using a very sharp knife, cut the catfish into 3/4 inch pieces; set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the tomatoes (with juices), dried onions, bouillon granules, dried oregano, garlic powder and hot-pepper sauce; bring to a boil and stir in the catfish pieces.

Step 4

Cover and cook over medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork and is opaque all the way through.

Step 5

Serve the fish mixture over the rice.
