New Orleans Style Cajun Dirty Rice Recipe

TCest si bon! That is Cajun for "it is good" and that is exactly what this traditional Cajun rice dish is. If you are going to learn how to cook dirty rice, then you need to know the lingo, right? Prepared with rice, sausage (or ground beef/pork), bell peppers, celery and onion, it is the chicken liver and gizzards that give this dish its "dirty" appearance.

However, not all dirty rice recipes are created equal. Use andouille sausage for an authentic Cajun flair and do not forget the cayenne! Garnish with a little fresh parsley and serve as a main course, a hearty side, or a spicy poultry stuffing.
