Dizzy Pig Dirty Rice

One of my favorite Cajun foods is "dirty rice". The first time I ever experienced dirty rice was from Popeye's. Instead of using chicken gizzards they use savory sausage in theirs and to this day, that is the style I prefer.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 pound breakfast sausage
1/4 cup bell pepper ; finely diced
1/4 cup finely diced celery
1/4 cup onion ; finely diced
1 cup long grain rice
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 tablespoon Dizzy Pig Swamp Venom rub ; (or Cajun rub)
2 teaspoons green onion ; finely diced
2 teaspoons parsley ; finely diced

Servings

INSTRUCTIONS

Brown the sausage over medium high heat. Remove with a slotted spoon and very finely dice the sausage.

Add the onions, bell pepper, and celery to the pan and saute until just starting to turn tender, about 4-5 minutes.

Add the rice, toss to coat, and cook until the rice starts to turn golden and emits a nutty aroma, about 2-3 minutes.

Return the sausage to the pan. Add the broth and Cajun seasoning, give a stir, and cover tightly. Bring to a simmer and cook until rice is done, 20-25 minutes. Note: Cajun rubs vary wildly in the amount of heat so if using a rub other than Dizzy Pig Swamp Venom, start with a lesser amount and add more until you get the level that you want.

When done, remove from heat and leave covered for 5 minutes. Then add the green onion and parsley while you fluff the rice with a fork. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve.
