Dirty Rice
(Serves 30)
Ingredients:
4 lbs raw rice
4 large onions (red onions flavorful)
¼ cup shortening or bacon drippings
2 lbs frozen gizzards and livers (left over gravies provide flavor)
Salt to taste (requires a lot)
5 cloves garlic
6 cups green onions
2 pods red pepper
1 cup parsley, chopped fine
9 cups water
Directions:
Cook rice until almost done. Cut up red onions very fine and brown in shortening. Cut up giblets and put in with onions and cook until brown. Add garlic cut very fine. Chop green onions with tops and parsley, and add to the mixture along with salt and red pepper and water. Pour over cooked rice. When the water is absorbed, put in a large baking pan. Dot with butter and brown in 350°F oven for 15 minutes, if desired.
