MIMI'S DIRTY BROWN RICE

This is a variation of my "Mimi's Dirty Rice" recipe, using healthier brown or basmati long cooking rice. Takes a little longer, but still very delicious. Use as a stuffing in stuffed peppers, or serve with a green salad. We like this in stuffed peppers, with some jack cheese melted on top.

MIMI'S DIRTY RICE



Mimi's Dirty Rice image

This dirty rice recipe came from my mom in 1996, and I don't have any idea where she got it. It can be adjusted for your tastes -- more or less of the "7 seasonings" to make it hotter. I usually make it and put it in stuffed peppers, but it could be a stand alone dish or side. We love it!

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality, long-grain rice. This will help ensure that the rice cooks evenly and has a fluffy texture.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any excess starch and help prevent the rice from sticking together.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven for cooking the rice. This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from burning.
  • Bring the water and rice to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. This will allow the rice to cook slowly and evenly.
  • Do not lift the lid during cooking. This will release the steam and prevent the rice from cooking properly.
  • Once the rice is cooked, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. This will allow the rice to absorb the remaining moisture.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. This will help separate the grains and make the rice light and fluffy.
  • Optional: Use real meat for the ground meat. If you have the time, use real meat like chicken or sausage. Brown it in a pan before adding it to the rice.
  • Optional: Add vegetables. Feel free to add some vegetables to the rice. Chopped bell peppers and onions are popular choices.
  • Season to taste. Don't be afraid to add more spices or salt to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice for a bit of brightness.

Conclusion:

Mimi's Dirty Rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is a great way to use up leftover rice and meat, and it is also a budget-friendly meal. With a few simple tips, you can make Mimi's Dirty Rice that is sure to impress your family and friends.
