Low Country Rice Recipe Recipes Recipe For Hand

COUNTRY RICE

Steps:

• Bring the stock to a boil with the green onion and pepper.
• Add the rice; turn down to a simmer and cover; cook for 20 minutes.
• NOTE: If you want drier rice, remove the cover at 20 minutes and heat just a minute or so longer.
• VARIATIONS: Rice made with fish stock can be served with fish, beef-stock rich with beef.
• If you begin adding more vegetables, you will end up with a jambalaya instead of a side course of Country Rice.

REALLY SIMPLE RICE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a non-stick saucepan over medium-high heat nearly to smoking. Cook and stir rice in the hot oil quickly to toast the rice, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir the onion into the rice; cook and stir 1 minute more. Pour chicken broth over the rice mixture, season with garlic salt, and bring to a boil; reduce heat to low, place a cover on the saucepan, and cook until the broth is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest 5 minutes before lifting the lid.

SOUTHERN DIRTY RICE

Steps:

• Pulse gizzards in food processor, then pulse livers.
• Heat oil in a large saucepan. Saute onion and gizzards over medium heat, stirring constantly, until meat begins to brown (about 5 minutes). Add livers and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until brown (about 3 minutes).
• Add rice and stir until coated with oil. Add broth, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook about 20 minutes, until rice has absorbed liquid. Sprinkle with green onion and serve.

LOW COUNTRY RED RICE

Steps:

• Fry the bacon pieces until they are crisp, then remove the cooked bacon from the frying pan and reserve. In the bacon drippings fry the onion until limp. Add the tomato juice or V8, salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce and bring up to a boil. Put in the rice and stir until it comes up to a boil again. Cover the pan and turn the heat down to very low. Cook the dish for 20 minutes without disturbing. At the end of this time remove the cover and stir up the contents of the pan. Cover again, remove from heat, and let stand 15 minutes. Add the reserved bacon and serve.
