DIRTY, DIRTY RICE



Dirty, Dirty Rice image

Believe it or not, the first place I ever had dirty rice was at Popeyes®. They were out of the red beans and rice. I'd never been a huge fan of liver before, but not only have I come to love dirty rice, I've also started to crave it with even more "dirt," i.e. more liver, pork, and aromatic vegetables, hence this redundantly named dish. While the traditional method cooks the rice first before "soiling" it, here we add all the "filth" at the beginning and cook it into the rice.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 ounces boneless pork shoulder, diced
1 yellow onion, diced
½ cup diced celery
½ cup diced green bell pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
1 andouille sausage, diced, or to taste
8 ounces chicken livers, minced
2 cups long-grain rice
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
4 cups chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup sliced green onions
¼ cup chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a high-sided pan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir pork until well browned and fat is rendered, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion, celery, and bell pepper; saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in paprika, cumin, black pepper, cayenne, garlic powder, oregano, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables continue to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add andouille sausage. Cook and stir to release some flavor, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in chicken livers and rice until well coated. Season with salt, pour in broth, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add bay leaf and Worcestershire sauce. Cover tightly; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, without stirring, until most of the liquid is absorbed and rice is starting to get tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Add green onions and parsley; mix well. Continue cooking over low to medium-low heat until rice is tender, about 10 minutes more. Taste for seasoning and remove bay leaf before serving.

DIRTY RICE

This is an old Louisiana recipe that I've had longer than I can remember. It's a very popular Southern dish. To turn this into a main meal, simply add more sausage and chicken livers. -Mrs. Lum Day, Bastrop, Louisiana

DIRTY RICE



Dirty Rice image

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.

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces hot sage pork sausage, casing removed
8 ounces ground beef
6 ounces chicken livers, finely chopped (optional)
1 medium onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 large celery ribs, diced
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice, rinsed and drained
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 scallions, sliced

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.

LAD'S DIRTY RICE

WOW!!! This is fantastic! A huge explosion of flavor!! This dish if one of the best I have ever had - absolutely wonderful and a keeper for sure. I cannot wait to make it again for the next potluck get together. I used quick-cooking rice and cooked sweet sausage to great results. Also, just 1 tsp of cayenne was plenty spicy for my wimpy palette. Next time I will double the recipe - It goes fast!
