Dirty Rice Recipe

Dirty Rice is a Cajun classic made with white rice and chicken liver. When cooked with the liver, the dirty rice develops its distinctive, dark color. This version of dirty rice uses chorizo instead of liver to give the rice its color.

Ingredients:
1/2 pound of chorizo
1 medium yellow onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
1/2 tspn cayenne pepper
1 tspn salt
1/2 tspn red pepper flakes
2 cups of cooked medium grain rice
2 tbsp Worchestershire sauce
3 green onions, chopped
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

Preparation:

1. Cook chorizo in a skillet over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
2. Add the onion, garlic, celery, cayenne pepper, salt, red pepper flakes and Worchestershire sauce to the skillet. Cook for an additional 10 minutes over medium heat.
3. In a large bowl, combine the rice, cilantro, and green onions and mix well.
4. Add the chorizo mixture to the bowl of rice and mix until all of the ingredients are evenly distributed.
5. Serve hot. Optional: serve with a dollop of sour cream.
