"Dirty" Rice is a traditional South Louisiana dish. The combination of rice and browed meat (the "dirty" ingredients) result in a mouthwatering Cajun dinner. The vegetables and savory spices make a deliciously different alternative to stuffing or potatotes. Add meat, poultry or seafood and it becomes a meal in itself. Serving Suggestions: Lightly brown 1 pound of meat (typically ground beef, but feel free to substitute port, chicken, chicken gizzards or a combination) in a saucepaan. Drain off any excess grease. Add 2 1/2 cups water, 1 tsp. cooking oil and bring to a boil. Stir in dirty rice mix. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally during cooking. Ingredients: Enriched parboiled long grain rice, bell peppers, onions, natural flavoring, salt, garlic, paprika, chili pepper, sugar, spices, dehydrated molasses, red pepper, autolyzed yeast extract, caramel color, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, less than 2 percent of silicone dioxide to prevent caking 8 oz |
