I'm looking for some advice on making dirty rice.

I am planning on basically making it the same as I do jambalaya.

Brown a couple pounds of ground meat, remove, deglaze and sautee trinity (slightly larger chop), add spices, add meat back in, add rice and water, let come together, top with green onion, serve?

What spices should I use? Anything I'm missing?

I'll post a recipe and pics after I cook it with yalls advice.

Chicken livers. Here's my recipe

BUG'S RICE DRESSING - Cooked in an old cast iron pot of mine with the lid on.

2 cups chopped chicken liver
1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 lb ground beef (I use lean ground beef)
2-3 slices of breakfast sausage (for flavor)
2 white onion
1 bellpepper
2 cups rice
2 cup beef broth (or vegetable)
1 cup water
Salt/Pepper to your liking you'll know as you taste the liquid what is needed


1. Cook breakfast sausage, remove dice sausage

2. Cook liver, remove when cooked

3. Cook onions and bellpepper, remove

4. Cook pork and beef until almost brown

5. Add all ingredients, bring to a boil, simmer 40 minutes to 1 hour or until rice is tender and liquid is evaporated.

Does this really make the recipe? I hate chicken liver b/c it taste so iron-y. I see a lot recipes that calls for it though.

Chicken livers are a must. If you do it right it won’t taste “livery” it will just add that that je ne sais quois that separates a great dirty rice from a generic one.

Dirty rice is one of my favorite foods. I like it more than jambalaya!!!!

Is this enough liquid for the rice?

That's a personal preference thing. Some people like it wetter or dryer than others.

Cook the plain rice the night before and refrigerate over night before adding it in to your dirty the next day.

Deglaze with a dark brown porter or stout beer.

I hate chicken liver too but trust people when they tell you, it gives dirty rice the flavor you want. It's different from taking a bite out of a fried or sauteed chicken liver. Hold your nose and put them in there, that's what I do.

Yes, assuming you have a good lid for your pot. The meat and vegetables already contain some of its own liquid. Again, you can mess with it a little if you are uncomfortable with it. For my 40 year old cast iron pot that is older than me, with the moisture nubs on the lid, this is what i use. as long as you don't open the lid, you are good to go.

Make it easy on yourself, add cook rice closer to end. Less chance of screwing up the consistency.

3 cups liquid to 2 cups rice...

1 1/2 to 1 ratio of liquid to rice is perfect for this application.
