Lake Charles Dirty Rice

Ingredients for Lake Charles Dirty Rice

• 2 tablespoons canola oil

• 110g pork mince

• 120ml chicken livers (about 110g ), pureed

• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

• 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoons chilli powder

• 350ml chicken broth

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 2 celery stalks, finely chopped

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 jalapeño pepper, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped

• 1 tablespoon dried oregano

• 550g cooked rice

• 1/2 bunch spring onions (white and green parts), chopped

• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the pork and chicken livers and cook, stirring, until browned. Add the salt, black pepper, and chilli powder and stir often, but resist the impulse to stir constantly: You want the meat to stick to the pan and get crusty. Add 60ml the chicken broth and cook until it has evaporated, allowing the meat mixture to get browned and crusty and stick to the pan once again. Add the onion, celery, garlic, jalapeño, and oregano and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are nicely browned and crusty and beginning to stick to the pan. Add the rice, the remaining 1 1/4 cups broth, the spring onions, and parsley. Stir until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is heated through.
