Dirty Rice

March 24, 2009

Now this is a cajun dish that is a full meal on it’s own.  I have had many incarnations of Dirty Rice.  Some have been good…. some, not so much.

This is a pretty solid recipe, and will be sufficient to feed about 4 healthy folks and leave some leftovers.

Here’s what we’ll need.

2 c. white rice

1 lb. Ground Beef

1 lb. Ground Pork

1 lb. Ground Chicken Giblets ( heart and gizzard)

1/2 c. butter

1 c. celery ( finely chopped )

1 c. Onion ( finely chopped )

1 c. Bell Pepper ( finely chopped )

1 T. Miced fresh garlic

1 t. gound Black Pepper

2 T.  Worcestershire  sauce

1 T. Salt

1/2 c. red wine

Cook rice according to the directions on the package, but don’t start it real early. You’ll see why in just a minute.

In a large stock pot, combine everything but the rice and the wine. Cook over medium heat for  3 hours stiring every 15 min or so.  When it’s cooked for 3 hours, add the cooked rice and the wine.  Reduce heat to low and cook for another 30 min, stiring often.

Enjoy
