Dirty Rice With Black Eyed Peas And Scallions Recipes

HOPPIN' JOHN -- RICE AND BLACK-EYED PEAS

Steps:

• In a 4 qt or pan brown bacon and cook onion in bacon grease until the onion is transparent. ** For vegan, omit bacon and use approximately 1/4 cup of vegetable oil to cook onion.
• Add uncooked rice, black eyed peas (with juice) and water to your bacon onion mixture. Mix well. **For vegan add liquid smoke at this point to replace the smoke flavor that would have been added by the bacon.
• Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium.
• When the tops of the bursting bubbles of boiling water are all of the liquid that can be seen above the rice, remove the pan from the heat and cover.
• Wait at least twenty minutes, WITHOUT PEEKING!
• Don't do it. You'll loose precious heat and steam.
• Serve with bread of your choice, or with the veggies of your choice and plenty of hot sauce. Of course, the variety of hot sauce you choose will depend on your tolerance for heat. If you would like, this could be served as a side dish, as well.

Fold in the black japonica rice and stir-fry until well-coated in the vegetable mixture and beginning to toast, 2 minutes. Add the gluten-free tamari, sesame oil, and sriracha and stir to combine.

• 1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high. Cook chicken liver and ground beef, stirring occasionally, until brown, 5-8 minutes. Add onion, scallion whites, bell pepper, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft, 6-8 minutes. Add bay leaves, Cajun spice seasoning, and cayenne, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add brandy, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. (You can use 2 Tbsp. water if you want to skip the brandy). Add rice and cook, stirring often, until some grains are translucent, about 3 minutes.

• 3. Taste rice and season with more salt if needed. Transfer to a platter and top with scallion green.
