Dirty Rice
Dirty Rice. It gets its name from the way it looks. Now a lot of times I have customer come into the restaurant and ask what is dirty rice?
So I try to explain to them that it is chicken livers, gizzards all ground up
and bell peppers, onions and a little bit of thyme and that is mixed into the rice, the white rice and makes the rice look dirty. The flavor is really great.
They say we really don’t like chicken liver or gizzards and I tell them you will never know when you bite into it that that’s what’s in the rice if I hadn’t
told it to you. So I give them a little taste to try it and they love it.
So everytime they come into the restaurant they order a bowl of
dirty rice and absolutely love it. It is lip smacking good.
Dirty Rice
(Serves 30)
Ingredients:
4 lbs raw rice
4 large onions (red onions flavorful)
¼ cup shortening or
bacon drippings
2 lbs frozen gizzards and livers
(left over gravies provide flavor)
Salt to taste (requires a lot)
5 cloves garlic
6 cups green onions
2 pods red pepper
1 cup parsley, chopped fine
9 cups water
Directions:
Cook rice until almost done.
Cut up red onions very fine
and brown in shortening.
Cut up giblets and put in with onions
and cook until brown.
Add garlic cut very fine.
Chop green onions with tops and parsley, and add to the mixture along with salt and red pepper and water.
Pour over cooked rice. When the water is absorbed, put in a large baking pan.
