Dirty Rice

Dirty Rice

David really loved this. I did not add the extra oil during cooking as there was enough fat from the bacon and pork. Also I didn't have cajun seasoning but made my own with this recipe http://allrecipes.com/recipe/cajun-spice-mix-2/. Also I used brown basmati rice and bell pepper. There was plenty of heat in the cajun spice mix so I didn't miss the jalapeno at all.

David said he wished there was more liver in it since you can't really taste it. There is another dirty rice recipe I ran across that has more liver in it http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/dirty-rice-recipe/index.html that I can try next.

Note: I've made this with 1/4 lb ramps, where the white ends are sauteed first and the greens added later. It works well with varying proportions of sausage & chicken liver. I didn't add bacon this time either, and it wasn't missed. Also I used leftover rice.
