Dirty Rice

Dirty Rice

EverydayCooked

Dirty rice is a seasoned Cajun-Creole dish made by cooking white rice with finely chopped chicken livers or ground meat, onions, bell peppers, celery, and spices like cayenne or paprika. Its name comes from the 'dirty' speckled appearance created by browned meat and spices mixed into the grains. This protein-rich dish derives distinctive umami flavor from organ meats while providing iron and B vitamins, though traditional versions tend to be lower in fiber due to using polished white rice.
