Steps

  1. I-preheat ang oven ng 150C. Grease ang isang 13- x 9-inch baking dish. I-whisk ang oil at flour sa isang dutch oven; lutuin sa medium high heat, habang nagwiwhisk hangang golden brown, mga 5-7mins. Ihalo ang onion, celery, bell pepper, at minced garlic, lutuin ito habang i-stir ito hangang lumambot yun gulay, mga 3 mins.
  2. Ihalo ang tomatoes, broth, okra, corn, Cajun seasoning, at pepper, at pakulo sa medium-high heat. Hinaan ito sa medium, at lutuin, i-stir hangang lumapot mga 10mins.
  3. Ipagsama ang melted butter at pressed garlic. Brush ang sides ng French bread slices, ng garlic butter, at bake sa preheated oven hangang lightly golden, mga 3mins. Tanggalin sa oven, at ilagay sa food precessor hangang coarsely crumbled.
  4. Squeeze ang rice pouches para ma-separate grains. Punitin ng 2 inches sa mga pouch. Microwave ang pouches sa HIGH ng 2mins. (Yun kanin medyo undercooked pa at ok lang). I-spoon sa baking dish, at ilagay ang okra mixture at yun breadcrumbs.
  5. Bake sa preheated oven hangang breadcrumbs ay golden brown, 25 - 30 minutes. Iiwan muna ng mga 10 minutes bago i-serve.
