Sear chicken livers and sausage hard, then build them into rice that tastes like New Orleans got it right

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • FOR THE DIRTY RICE:
  • 3 Tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 pound chicken livers, fine dice
  • 1 pound pork sausage, removed from the casing and crumbled
  • 1 cup sweet onion, fine dice
  • 1 cup poblano chile, fine dice
  • 1 cup celery, fine dice
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Casa M Spice Co® Chain Reaction®
  • 1 Tablespoon Casa M Spice Co® Uncontrolled Cattle Drive®
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 5 cups cooked white rice, chilled

Method

  1. 01

    Fine dice chicken livers, onion, poblano, celery

    12 min

    Mince garlic during this step as well.

  2. 02

    Brown chicken livers and sausage in coconut oil

    6 min

    High heat until oil just starts smoking, stir frequently.

  3. 03

    Sauté vegetables and spices until softened

    8 min

    Onions should start to turn translucent.

  4. 04

    Add broth and bay leaves, bring to boil then simmer

    3 min

    Scrape browned bits from bottom of pan.

  5. 05

    Cover and simmer

    12 min

    You're looking for the rice to absorb all that flavorful liquid and turn tender without turning to mush — it should be just shy of creamy when you stir it, with each grain still holding its shape.

  6. 06

    Stir in chilled rice and heat through

    5 min

    Cover and simmer until rice is heated.

  7. 07

    Remove bay leaves and serve

    1 min

    Fish out those bay leaves before plating, then taste and adjust your seasoning one more time — this dish can handle an extra pinch of Chain Reaction® if it needs more backbone.

From Mike's Notebook

01

Chicken livers need high heat and frequent stirring or they'll turn gray and bitter instead of brown.

02

Don't skip scraping the pan bottom in step four — that's where the real flavor lives.

03

Cold rice breaks up cleaner when stirred in; warm rice clumps and won't distribute evenly.
