SOUTHERN LOUISIANA DIRTY RICE

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.
