Rump Shaking Good Dirty Rice Recipe

Print Friendly and PDF
Dirty rice is a traditional Creole dish made from white rice which gets a "dirty" color from being cooked with small pieces of chicken liver or giblets, green bell pepper, celery, and onion, and spiced with cayenne and black pepper. Parsley and/or chopped green onions are common garnishes. Dirty rice is most common in the Creole regions of southern Louisiana; however, it can also be found in other areas of the American South. In some southern regions, it is also called rice dressing.  

To me it’s just about one of the most satisfying one bowl meals of comfort food EVER!  It’s also a great side dish to bring to a BBQ!  This is Rump Shaking Good stuff!
