DIRTY RICE

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and the chopped onions; saute for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Mix in the bell pepper, chili powder, ground annatto, chili flakes, cumin, and cinnamon. Saute for 2 minutes.
• Pour the rice into the saucepan and stir to coat. Add the water and 1 teaspoon salt, and bring the rice to a boil over high heat. Cover the pan and turn the heat to low. Simmer the rice for 25 minutes.
• When the rice is cooked, mix in tomatoes, corn, black beans, and pine nuts. Stir in salt, pepper and lime juice. When the mixture is heated through, spoon it onto plates and top with the sliced red onion and cilantro. Serve a wedge or two of lime with each plate to squeeze over the rice.

LAKE CHARLES DIRTY RICE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the pork and chicken livers and cook, stirring, until browned. Add the salt, black pepper, and chili powder and stir often, but resist the impulse to stir constantly: You want the meat to stick to the pan and get crusty. Add 1/4 cup of the chicken broth and cook until it has evaporated, allowing the meat mixture to get browned and crusty and stick to the pan once again. Add the onion, celery, garlic, jalapeño, and oregano and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are nicely browned and crusty and beginning to stick to the pan. Add the rice, the remaining 1 1/4 cups broth, the scallions, and parsley. Stir until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is heated through.

LENTIL "DIRTY RICE" RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• For the Sweet & Sour Eggplant: Heat a large sauté pan over high heat. Add both oils and then the salted eggplant. Sauté until the eggplant begins to brown, adding more canola oil if needed. In a bowl or measuring cup, combine all remaining ingredients. Deglaze your hot browning eggplant pan with the vinegar mixture, allowing it to reduce by about half. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• For the Crispy Garbanzo Beans: These are best (in my opinion) when deep fried until crispy in 325-degree vegetable oil... but they're also very good when baked at 350 degrees in an oven.
• If frying; toss the garbanzo beans with all spices and fry them for about 4 minutes, until golden brown and crunchy... then drain them on a paper towel while cooling.
• If baking; toss the garbanzo beans with the oil, and then the spices, and bake. This will take approximately 45 minutes.
• For the Sumac Yogurt Sauce: Combine all ingredients and keep cold until ready to use.
• To assemble, place your grains in the base of a bowl. Top with warm eggplant, crispy garbanzo beans, a drizzle of sumac yogurt and fresh herbs.
• Enjoy!
