Pappadeaux Dirty Rice

Dirty rice is a classic Creole dish that combines rice with a variety of spices and sometimes meat, offering a tantalizing taste that is hard to resist. This recipe is inspired by the beloved dish from Pappadeaux’s, where you can experience a glimpse of Louisiana right on your plate.

Ingredients

Gather these ingredients to make your own Pappadeaux Dirty Rice:

1 pound ground beef
1/2 pound chicken liver, chopped (optional)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
1 1/2 cups white rice
3 cups chicken broth
2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

Now that you have all your ingredients ready, follow these simple steps to prepare your delicious dirty rice:

In a large skillet or saucepan, brown the ground beef over medium heat. If using, add chopped chicken liver and cook until browned.
Add the finely chopped onion, green bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and Creole seasoning. Stir well to combine the spices with the meat and vegetables.
Add the rice to the skillet, stirring to coat the rice with the flavorful mixture.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.
Fluff the dirty rice with a fork before serving. For a garnish, sprinkle with sliced green onions.
