Rice Dressing PREP TIME: 1 Hour SERVES: 8-10 Pecan rice dressing is found on most holiday tables in South Louisiana. It incorporates the best ingredients of Bayou Country including seafood, meat and nuts. This recipe has been a tradition in our family for over 150 years. INGREDIENTS: 6 chicken livers 1 pound ground beef 1 pound ground pork 1/4 pound butter 1 cup onion, diced 1 cup celery, diced 1 cup green bell pepper, diced 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced 2 tbsps garlic, minced 6 cups cooked white rice 1/2 cup green onions, sliced 1/2 cup parsley, chopped salt and cracked black pepper to taste
In a small sauté pan, poach chicken livers in lightly salted water until done. Remove and set aside to cool. Once cool, chop and reserve. Retain poaching liquid. In a large, heavy-bottom sauté pan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and pork and sauté until golden brown and grains of meat are totally separated, approximately 30 minutes. Add chopped chicken livers, onion, celery, bell peppers and garlic. Continue to sauté an additional 30 minutes or until vegetables are totally cooked. You may need to add the poaching liquid from the livers to keep the mixture moist during cooking. Add cooked rice, stir well into the mixture and garnish using green onions, parsley. Season to taste using salt and black pepper. Serve as a rice casserole or use this recipe to stuff a turkey or duck. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
