DIRTY RICE



Dirty Rice image

The name for this dish comes from how it looks, as the rice grains are speckled with bits of ground meat and seasonings. This version uses chicken livers instead of the common combination of both gizzards and livers to offer a distinct flavor profile. Dirty rice is similar to rice dressing, but it isn't relegated to just holiday tables. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find a spread in Louisiana without it. A much beloved side dish, it's also worthy of being at the center of the plate as a hearty, rustic main dish. If you have leftover rice, you can skip the first two steps and adjust the seasonings to taste.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup long-grain rice
1 1/2 cups turkey or chicken stock, or water
2 1/2 teaspoons Creole seasoning (see Tip), plus more to taste
1 teaspoon unsalted or salted butter
1/4 pound chicken livers
1/2 pound ground beef (85 percent lean)
1/2 pound ground pork
2 tablespoons hot sauce
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
4 teaspoons canola, vegetable or extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
1 small green bell pepper, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallion greens
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Rinse the rice in a strainer under cold water until the water runs clear. Heat the stock in a medium saucepan over high until boiling. Stir in the rice and 1 ½ teaspoons Creole seasoning, then reduce heat to low to maintain a simmer. Cover the saucepan and cook until the water has evaporated and the rice no longer has any bite, 12 to 15 minutes. If the water evaporates before the rice is done (bite into a grain to see if it's fully cooked), add ¼ cup water, cover and continue cooking. Once the rice is ready, stir in the butter and set aside while preparing the rest of the dirty rice.
  • Finely chop the chicken livers. Transfer to a large bowl and add the beef, pork, 1 tablespoon hot sauce, 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir to combine.
  • Heat 3 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Add the meat and cook, stirring to break it up, until all of the meat is evenly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer the meat to a plate using a slotted spoon. Discard all but 2 teaspoons fat from the skillet.
  • Add the remaining teaspoon oil to the skillet and heat over medium until the oil shimmers. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 7 minutes. Add the bell pepper and celery, and cook until softened, about 7 minutes more. Stir in the garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, remaining tablespoon hot sauce and ½ teaspoon salt. Return the meat to the skillet and add the cooked rice. Stir until combined and heated through. Taste and add more salt, Creole seasoning or hot sauce as desired. Stir in the scallion greens and parsley, and serve warm.

ANN'S DIRTY RICE



Ann's Dirty Rice image

Quick and easy dinner. A family favorite. This was my mother's recipe. In my humble opinion she was the best cook ever. This recipe is very versatile and can be seasoned so many different ways. Please feel free to try your own favorite seasoning combinations. My two boys who are now 27 and 31 and my husband request this simple dinner frequently and I have taught the boys to make it but they say mine tastes different. I love to cook and they love to eat. This is such a simple recipe and I usually double so they have plenty to take home with them. It heats up well.
