CAJUN DIRTY RICE DRESSING



Cajun Dirty Rice Dressing image

My early years were split between rural east Texas and the heart of Louisiana's Cajun Country....back in my elementary days (before school lunches came frozen in boxes) this was a lunch room staple in Lafayette, Louisiana.....prepared daily by the mother's of my Cajun friends who worked part time in the school cafeteria. To this day a big helping of hot Dirty Rice takes me back to 4th grade! This recipe, from Chef Patrick Mould, calls for ground pork and beef only; which works well for me because, if I'm the one doing the cooking, I simply can not deal with chicken livers! This makes a LOT of Dirty Rice....so if your not cooking for a lunch room full of hungry kids, you may want to 1/2 or even 1/4 the recipe. For the 'dark roux' I recommend you reference recipe #47651 by chef #15851

EGGPLANT RICE DRESSING- CAJUN



Eggplant Rice Dressing- Cajun image

This is a healthy and tasty alternative to dirty rice. Also a great way to get the kids to try and love eggplant! I usually make this with one pound of ground turkey to reduce the fat and calories. To add even more flavor you can increase the onion and garlic if you like but we find it well seasoned as is. Sometimes we will even add some celery in with the onion mixture. Use what you have and what you like. Any color bell peppers are fine too! Red and yellow peppers add a nice color addition. Likewise, you do not HAVE to peel the eggplant if you want to leave the skin on. Just dice them up small. Another great color addition to a simple meal! Also, you can make this vegetarian if you use vegetable broth and leave out the meat or substitute TVP. Enjoy!

Time 55m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs chicken or 2 lbs beef
1 large eggplant, peeled and chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 bell peppers, chopped
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
2 cups chicken broth (or 1 can plus a little water)
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, adjust to taste
1 tablespoon season salt, to taste (I use Tony Cachere's which is spicier but you can use Season All which has no heat or cayenne)
3 cups brown rice, cooked (measured after it's cooked) or 3 cups white rice, if preferred

Steps:

  • Brown ground meat and drain well. Rinse with water if desired. Reduce heat and add eggplant, onions, bell peppers, garlic and green onions. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add the broth and just a little water if needed so that it almost covers the mixture. Stir in seasoning and bring mixture to a boil. Simmer stirring occasionally for about 30 minutes or until it has reached a desirable consistency. I like to have some liquid left in the bottom when I add the rice.
  • Stir in cooked rice until well mixed and the remaining liquid has absorbed into the rice as much as you want. Serve hot as a side dish or a main dish.
  • Note: For those who like lots of heat this is great served with tabasco or other hot sauce or even a sauce piquant! Ces' si bon!

CAJUN BAKED RICE DRESSING



Cajun Baked Rice Dressing image

Delicious and easy to cook recipe that my mom found in the Houston Chronicle in the mid-1970's. So good that it's a family tradition in my house. You can play around with the ingredients some, but try not to deviate too much. Sometimes I might add about 1/4 pound of hot Italian turkey sausage to the ground beef, but the ground beef is normally the best. you will immediately want to cook another batch, it's so good. Use as much salt and pepper as you need, but don't exceed 1/2 tbsp.

QUICK AND EASY CAJUN RICE DRESSING

I love rice dressing (aka "dirty rice"), but don't always have the time it takes to make from scratch. This is a pretty good substitute! Very tasty, for so little effort. It only takes 5 minutes of prep time! It's a great side dish for roast chicken or barbecue. Freezes beautifully.

CAJUN RICE DRESSING



Cajun Rice Dressing image

Cajun rice dressing, or dirty rice, is a rice based mixture often served during the holidays. A roux is what sets the two apart in my recipe box. Read on to see how to make this a Cajun Farre dressing for sandwiches!

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound chicken giblets
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1-1/2 cups onion
1 cup green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 teaspoons garlic
2 (6 ounce) cans mushroom steak sauce
2 cups beef stock or broth
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Creole seasoning, or your favorite Cajun/Creole seasoning
3 cups cooked rice
Chopped green onion, to garnish, optional
Hot pepper sauce, for the table

Steps:

  • Place the giblets in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes; set aside to cool. Once cooled, pulse the giblets in a food processor until finely minced.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. In a large skillet, brown and crumble the beef and pork. Drain and set aside. In that same skillet, start a roux by heating the canola oil over medium heat; stir in the flour. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture reaches a caramel color. Stir in the onion, bell pepper and celery; cook and stir about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook another minute. Stir in the mushroom steak sauce or cream of mushroom soup and the beef stock, until fully incorporated. Add the browned beef and pork to the sauce mixture. If you are substituting a spicy sausage for the giblets, taste before adding any Cajun or Creole seasoning; otherwise, stir in the Cajun/Creole seasoning, pepper and rice and mix well. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Turn out into the buttered baking dish, cover tightly with foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.
  • Serve with hot sauce at the table.
  • Cook's Notes: Mushroom steak sauce can usually be found on the grocery aisle with the canned mushrooms. If you can't find the mushroom steak sauce, substitute a can of cream of mushroom soup with a splash of Kitchen Bouquet and/or a teaspoon of Better Than Bouillon beef in a pinch. Can use turkey or chicken necks, livers and gizzards for the giblets. Can also omit the giblets and substitute a couple of links of raw sausage (like fresh, un-smoked andouille or boudin), ground beef, or any combination as desired. If you use a spicy raw sausage, taste before adding any Cajun/Creole seasoning. Zatarain's Big & Zesty is a large flake Creole seasoning. If you are using a more finely ground Cajun or Creole seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), you will probably want to tone it down from a full tablespoon. As always, add a little first, then taste and adjust.
  • Variation - Cajun Dressing Sandwich: Prepare the dish all the way up to the point of adding the rice but omit the rice, and do not bake. Instead, let mixture simmer on the stovetop for 20 minutes, stirring regularly. Spoon the meat mixture onto warmed pistolette rolls and serve as sandwiches.
