Wild & Dirty Rice |
| By Peter Sheppard, The New Fermenting Gourmet |
|
This was a big hit at the party - some people thought it was
tabouli - nope, just a combo of wild, texmati white, brown
and red rice with an equal amount of brown jasmine rice, for
good measure! Add the gizzards, livers and hearts and
you've got a real cajun treat!
| Ingredients |
| Yield: "Scads" |
| 21 oz jar | "Royal Blend" Texmati wild, white, brown and red
rice mix |
| 5 cups | Brown Jasime Rice |
| 10-1/2 cups | Chicken Broth (Homemade or Low Sodium Canned) |
| 2 cups | Shredded Chicken |
| 1 cup | Chicken gizzards, hearts and livers |
| 1 cup | chopped Italian Flat Parsley |
| 2 cups | Chopped Scallions |
| 2 cups | minced Fresh Pasilla Chiles |
| 2 cups | diced Red Bell Peppers |
| 3 Tbsp | Olive oil |
| 1 tsp | freeze-dried Roasted Garlic |
| 1 cup | Beer (hoppy beer really good here) |
| | Salt and Pepper to taste |
|
| Method |
|
Cook the "texmati" rice as per the directions on the jar, using
chicken broth instead of water.
Cook the brown jasmine rice with the remaining chicken broth - about 1 1/2 cups
broth for each cup of raw rice.
When both rices are cooled combine them in a big bowl and toss well.
In a small saucepan over medium/high flame heat the oil and add the gizzards,
livers and hearts - stir well to coat.
Add about 1/2 cup each of the parsley, scallions and pasilla chiles and stir well.
Cook until the veggies are limp, about 2 to 3 minutes - DO NOT OVERCOOK! Add the cooked gizzards to the rice mixture
and toss along with the remaining parsley, scallions,
chiles, red peppers, and beer.
Season with salt and pepper and taste - adjust for seasonings.
This dish is best served at room temperature or warmed slightly. Makes scads!
