Cajun dirty rice is cooked with your choice of ground meat or you could get really serious by using liver or kidney! I went with Italian sausage since it’s something we can all agree on in our house. This is the first time I’ve made dirty rice and both the hubby and I were surprised at it’s awesomeness. This may become a regular in my weekly meal prep – it’s also a great way to use up some scraps from the fridge.
BONUS: Leftovers make a great fried rice for breakfast the next day. Just scramble and cook 3 eggs in a hot pan with butter until they’re still a little wet and move them to a bowl. Add about 3 cups of leftover dirty rice to the pan and cook until it’s all heated through and you get a few crispy bits of rice happening. Add the eggs back to the pan and stir it all around for another minute or so. Delicious! My husband said the flavor reminded him of loco moco that he used to get in Hawaii – the only thing missing was the gravy!
I found the original recipe in a cookbook and only made a few minor modifications. Here’s an affiliate link below for the cookbook where I got the original recipe in case you want to check it out:
