re: scrambled eggs and rice mixed together

glad i wasn't the only one. shite man, i still eat this probably 3-4 Xs a month. wife even likes it.

old cajun ladies made this as a substitute for meat during lent. we had stews and gumbos without meat at my great grandmothers during lent.

Mom used to make it all the time. Still eat it every time I have leftover rice

I absolutely love making scrambled eggs or an omelette with dirty rice or boudin. Brown the rice just a little first so it has a slight crunch. C'est bon! It's somethung I discovered as an adult. Growing up, we never had leftover rice. That milk gravy needed a home at dinner/supper the night before (we used those interchangeably)

Raised on Sc ambled eggs & rice.

Better if you add the rice first with the butter for a bit.

Hell throw a few crawfish tails and green onions in there while your at it

I spent some time in Costa Rica doing mission work. The family I stayed with served the same breakfast every morning for a month:

Scrambled Eggs
Rice
Black Beans
Loaf of bread with cream cheese and pineapple jam
Black coffee

Yep toast bread. Lot of Cajuns call toast, toast bread.

We used to eat this offshore. The cook made it as kind of a breakfast jambalaya. It was pretty good.

Mom would also cook what she called smothered potatoes. She would sweat onions and garlic in butter. Add thinly sliced red potatoes to the pot on high heat. She would let them almost scorch and brown in the pot, stir the potatoes often and then add chopped green onions the last few minutes.

This was so good. Anyone have this?

It's not just a southern thing. Think about what's in fried rice.
