Dirty Rice gets its name from the rice looking “dirty” after the dish is complete. The chicken giblets give this dish its unique flavor.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup bacon fat
- 3 tbsp flour
- 2 medium onions chopped
- 1 large pod garlic pressed
- 1 medium bell pepper chopped
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1 pound raw chicken giblets (ground)
- 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp salt or more according to taste
- 1 tsp each of black and red pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions (green onions)
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 bouillon cube dissolved in water
Directions
Step 1
Combine the bacon fat and flour and make a dark roux. Add the onion, green pepper and celery and cook 15 minutes over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the ground beef, pork and chicken giblets cooking over high heat until browned.
Step 3
Add enough water in which a bouillon cube has been dissolved to make the mixture a thick gravy. Add the garlic and a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce; season to taste with the salt and black and red pepper.
Step 4
Cook slowly for 30 minutes; do not let the mixture get too thick adding a little more water if needed to keep it saucy. Mix with the cooked rice, parsley and onions. Cover and heat on a low fire for 15 minutes. Fresh cantaloupe or cabbage slaw goes well with this dish.
