This quick stir-fry features spicy Cajun seasoning and crunchy toasted pecans for a pleasingly different flavor profile. Accompany with a fruit salad and crusty French rolls.

Cajun Pork and Pecan Stir-Fry

1 pound pork stir-fry strips (loin, fresh pork leg or tenderloin)

1 1/2 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into 3/4-inch squares

3/4 cup toasted pecan halves
3 cups hot cooked rice

1. In medium bowl toss together pork strips with Cajun seasoning to coat evenly.
2. In large nonstick skillet heat oil over high heat, stir-fry pork until nicely browned, about 4 to 6 minutes.
3. Add celery, onion and garlic to skillet and cook, stirring often, until onion is almost translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Add pecans and cook to heat through. Serve over rice.

Serves 4.

Wine suggestion: Pour a chilled rose or vin gris, or accompany with cold beer.
