Title: Dirty Dave's Dirty Rice
Categories: Cajun, Rice, Poultry, Offal, Chilies
Yield: 4 Servings

1 1/2 c Louisiana long grain rice;
- or basmati/Texmati rice
2 c Chicken broth
2 c Water
3 tb Oil
1/2 lb Ground pork
+=AND=+
1/2 lb Ground chicken gizzards
+=OR=+
1 lb Ground chicken gizzards
3 sl Bacon; chopped
1/2 lg Onion; chopped
2 Celery ribs; chopped
1 (to 3) jalapeños; seeded,
- chopped
1 tb Cajun seasoning *
2 Green onions; chopped

* I switch back & forth between Louisiana Fish Fry
(orange container) Products and Tony Chachere's (green
container) Creole Seasoning - whichever I find in the
cabinet first.

Cook the rice according to the package instructions,
but use chicken broth for one third of the cooking
liquid. So, for example, if the package says to use 3
cups of water for 1 1/2 cups of rice, use 2 cups of
water and 1 cup of chicken broth.

Once the rice has finished cooking, remove from heat
and let sit for 5 minutes. Turn the rice out onto a
sheet pan and drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over it.
Mix to combine and let cool.

While the rice is cooking, finely chop the chicken
gizzards, or puree briefly in a blender. In a large pan
that can eventually hold the rice plus everything else,
put 1 tb of oil plus the bacon in and cook over medium-
low heat until the bacon is crispy.

Add the ground pork (if using) and increase the heat to
high. Allow the meat to brown before stirring. As soon
as the pork starts to brown, add the final tablespoon
of oil and add the celery, jalapenos, and onions.

Brown them all over medium-high heat.

You will notice the bottom of the pan is getting crusty.
Keep it from burning by lowering the heat if needed. Add
the minced gizzards and cook for a few minutes more.

Add the remaining cup of chicken broth and deglaze the
pan by scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden
spoon. Add the Cajun seasoning and turn the heat to high.
Boil away most of the chicken stock and then add the
cooked rice. Toss to combine.

Turn off the heat and add the green onions. Toss once
more to combine and serve hot.

Serves 4.

From: Dirty Dave's adaptive mind - which will file the
serial numbers off of any recipe and call it his own.

... Two people can't stir what's in a saucepan at the same time.

Title: Green Rice
Categories: Rice, Greens, Cheese
Yield: 2 Servings

3 c Chicken stock
2 tb Butter
1/2 Shallot; peeled, chopped
1 c Arborio rice; unwashed
1 c Fresh spinach; raw
6 Fresh parsley sprigs; no
- stems
Sea salt & fresh ground
- white pepper
1/2 c Parmesan cheese; grated

Pour broth into a saucepan and simmer slowly while cooking
rice. Heat butter in a saute pan or skillet, stir shallot
into butter, and cook 1 minute. Add rice; stir into butter
until well coated.

With a chef's knife chop spinach and parsley coarsely;
stir into pan; add 1 cup hot broth and cook about 3
minutes until absorbed. Pour in second cup of broth and
simmer 4-5 minutes until rice is tender but firm in
center. If rice is hard, add hot broth 1/2 cup at a time
until cooked, and season to taste.

Rice should be creamy and all liquid absorbed; when done,
remove from heat, add grated cheese, and serve hot.

NOTES: The Italians say: "Wash your hands, but never wash
the rice."
