Madeline Roselands Dirty Rice Recipes

MADELINE ROSELAND'S DIRTY RICE

Steps:

• Cook rice in turkey stock in microwave or rice steamer.
• If using the steamer, reduce turkey stock to 2 cups.
• Sauté garlic and vegetables in butter until soft.
• Add ground meat and seasoning to sautéed vegetables.
• Brown until done.
• Do not drain liquid--this is not a low fat recipe!
• Just continue cooking until the liquid is reduced almost completely (leave it a little juicy) back into the meat and vegetable mixture. You don't want the rice runny, just moist.
• Stir meat mixture into rice and serve.

DIRTY RICE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, ground beef and chicken livers and cook, breaking the meat into small bits with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a medium heatproof bowl with a slotted spoon.
• Remove and discard all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the Dutch oven. Add the onion, bell pepper and celery and cook down, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme and bay leaves and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the rice, oregano, smoked paprika, cayenne, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook about 30 seconds. Stir the cooked meat back in, then add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a low simmer and cover. Cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid, about 18 minutes.
• Remove from the heat. Remove and discard the bay leaves, stir in the scallions and season.

EASY BAKED DIRTY RICE

Steps:

• Pinch all the ingredients together, with your fingers, in a large casserole dish.
• Spread it all out into an even layer and bake, covered with foil, in a 350°F oven for 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, remove the dish from the oven and stir/smoosh (breaking up the pieces of sausage and beef into itty-bitty tiny bits) and add a little more water if it looks dry.
• Bake, uncovered, for an additional 30 minutes.
