Dirty Rice

This is one of my husband's favorite dishes that his Maw-Maw makes. I finally got the recipe, and it is too good not to share.

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Yields: 4 cups

Ingredients

• 1  lb chicken giblets (the "package" found inside your fowl, any fowl giblets may be used)
• 2  cups white rice, uncooked
• 1⁄2 lb bulk pork sausage
• 1  cup onion, chopped
• 1⁄2 cup bell pepper
• 1⁄2 cup celery
• 1⁄2 cup parsley
• 2  garlic cloves
• 1  cup scallion top, chopped
•  salt and pepper

Directions

1. Put giblets (and neck) into a medium sauce pan and cover with water. Add salt and boil covered until tender.
2. Remove giblets and set aside.
3. Add enough water to the broth from cooking the giblets until you have 4 cups total. Add your rice, and cook until done.
4. When rice is half done (about 10 minutes), begin to brown sausage until fat starts to render out - add vegetables and herbs.
5. Cook vegetables with sausage until tender.
6. Stir in cooked rice gently until combined, and season to taste.
