Rice Dressing
(Known Locally as Dirty Rice)

This dish is served at every special occasion and family gathering. It tastes better than it sounds.

Ingredients

1 pound beef ground meat

1-pound pork ground meat

½ pound pork liver( you can use calf but the dish isn’t as moist)

2 cups green onion tops

½ cup white onion, finely chopped

¼ cup parsley, finely chopped

(Small amount of celery and bell pepper if desired,

but I like it better without.)

4-6 cups cooked rice

Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions

If pork liver hasn’t had the fine skin (membrane) over the top of it removed, begin by removing skin. Boil whole liver on low heat until cooked. Reserve liquid. Lightly brown ground meat (both) together with white onions (and the celery and bell pepper if you’re using them). Add about ¼ cup water to make a sauce. Turn off heat and throw in green onions to wilt. Using a blender or grinder, chop liver. Scoop 4 cups hot cooked rice in a large bowl of pan. Add all ingredients including liquid from ground meat. Add seasoning to taste and mix well. The rice to meat ratio should be about 50/50.Add liquid from liver until the mixture is moist but not squishy or pasty. If you happen to add too much liquid, put in a 375-degree oven for a few minutes until some of the moisture has evaporated. ENJOY!
