Dirty Rice
November 26, 2011
I’ve only ever made Dirty Rice from a mix, so this simple recipe from the June 2003 issue of Southern Living (original here) caught my attention. The mixes are pretty easy, but this looks easy enough that I will probably give it a try eventually.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 celery ribs, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup uncooked rice
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can beef broth
- 3/4 cup water
Directions
- Cook ground beef, garlic, celery, onion, parsley, and green pepper in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until beef crumbles and is no longer pink.
- Stir in salt, red and black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce, mixing well.
- Add rice, broth, and 3/4 cup water, stirring well.
- Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 25 to 30 minutes or until rice is tender.
