Southern Louisiana Dirty Rice image

This is a recipe that was handed down from a friend. It's easy to adjust and very tasty. Just remember that for every pound of livers and gizzards, you use one cup of each vegetable (onions are 1/2 yellow and 1/2 green), one cup of rice and 1 yellow chili pepper. The spices can be added to taste.

1 pound(s) chicken livers
1 pound(s) chicken gizzards (with or without hearts)
2 cup(s) chopped bell pepper
2 cup(s) chopped celery
1 cup(s) chopped yellow onion
1 cup(s) chopped green onion

Steps:

  • Boil livers and gizzards until done. Remove and chop saving the water to use with the rice. I use a mini food chopper for the gizzards and hearts.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pan.
  • Add vegetables to oil and saute while meat is cooking.
  • Add chopped meat, salt, and pepper to vegetables and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add rice and water (using water meat was cooked in) to mixture and stir.
  • Add cayene pepper to taste. The amount you use will be determined by how spicy you like your food.
  • Bring ingredients to a boil, reduce heat to simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes on stove top.
