Louisiana Dirty Rice
Total time: 1.07 hours
Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
  • 1 cup yellow onions, chopped finely
  • 1/2 cup celery, chopped finely
  • 1/2 cup green sweet peppers, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon creole seasoning
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne
  • 5 ounce chicken livers, chopped
  • 4 ounce ground pork
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus to taste
  • 1 cup raw, white long-grain rice, rinsed
  • 2 1/2 tablespoon italian parsley leave, flat leaf, minced
  • 2 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, minced
  • 2 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup green onions, green and white parts, sliced finely
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a heavy, oven-proof 2-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
  3. Stir in the garlic and cook just until it starts to brown, about 45 seconds, stirring almost constantly.
  4. Stir in the yellow onions, celery, sweet peppers, Creole seasoning and cayenne, mixing well.
  5. Cook until the onions become translucent, about three minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add the chicken livers, pork, ½ teaspoon kosher salt and the rice, stirring thoroughly and breaking up clumps of pork.
  7. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, about two minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the mixture from burning.
  8. Add the parsley, thyme, stock, Worcestershire and green onions, blending well.
  9. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover the saucepan.
  10. If your saucepan isn’t oven-proof, transfer the mixture to an ungreased 2-quart casserole and cover.
  11. Bake until the rice is tender, about 25 minutes.
  12. Remove it from the oven and fluff it.
  13. Taste the rice and add more salt if needed.
