DIRTY RICE
This is the ultimate "anything goes" dish. All you need is some sausage and any kind of raw or cooked meat you might have on hand. We use a tasty mix of sausage, chicken, pulled pork, and ham. The only thing you can't skip are the chicken livers. That's what makes Dirty Rice dirty and gives it its deep, rich flavor. We've been servin' it every Wednesday as a featured side, and we've found that Central New Yorkers really appreciate this frugal New Orleans specialty. It's also good as a stuffing for Cornish hens, pork chops, or turkey.

Steps:
- Set a Dutch oven on the burner. Pour in the oil and get it nice and hot over medium-high heat. Toss in the onions, green peppers, and jalapeños. Season with salt and pepper. Cook til tinged with brown; then add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Toss in the cubed chicken and cook, stirring, til the pieces are coated with the veggies. Crumble in the sausage and keep cooking and stirring til it loses its pink color. Toss in the remaining meats and the liver purée. Douse the meats with the broth and add the cayenne, cumin, oregano, and bay leaf. Stir in the rice and bring it all to a boil. Cover and turn the heat down low. Cook for 20 minutes without stirring. Pull the pot off the stove and remove the bay leaf. Now give it a stir and it's ready to serve.
DIRTY RICE
This classic Cajun dish pays homage to the Louisiana holy trinity (onions, bell peppers and celery). The finely chopped proteins give the rice its signature "dirty" look. Traditionally, dirty rice includes chicken liver -- you can omit it, but don't fear the liver! It adds another layer of texture and depth of flavor.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, ground beef and chicken livers and cook, breaking the meat into small bits with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a medium heatproof bowl with a slotted spoon.
- Remove and discard all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the Dutch oven. Add the onion, bell pepper and celery and cook down, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme and bay leaves and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the rice, oregano, smoked paprika, cayenne, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook about 30 seconds. Stir the cooked meat back in, then add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a low simmer and cover. Cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid, about 18 minutes.
- Remove from the heat. Remove and discard the bay leaves, stir in the scallions and season.
