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

1 pound chicken livers
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
2 large eggplant, diced
1 pound ground beef
5 stalks celery with leaves, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 pound breakfast sausage
3/4 stick butter

Steps:

  • Begin by putting the chicken livers into boiling water and cook until tender. Remove from the water and put in a food processor and process to a pate-like texture. Set aside.

Add back the chicken livers, meat mixture and cooked eggplant. Add Cajun seasoning to taste. Slowly simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, cook the rice according to package directions and add to the dressing a bit at a time until you achieve the balance that you like of rice to dressing mix. At the very end, add the chopped green onion tops. Simmer for a few minutes longer.

EGGPLANT DIRTY RICE DRESSING



Eggplant Dirty Rice Dressing image

This recipe was on the table throughout summer when I was growing up. Eggplant grew all summer and my Mom made this almost weekly. This with a side of fresh green beans from our garden seasoned with salt pork was a favorite summertime meal at my childhood home. And to tell the truth, it still is!

DIRTY RICE DRESSING



Dirty Rice Dressing image

This dish is referred to as "dirty rice" because of the color of the rice at the end of the cooking process. If you ask someone from Louisiana what kind of dressing they want on their salad, the answer just may be, rice!
