Updated on Feb 8, 2015

I love dirty rice... even some of the stuff that comes in a box... but don't tell anybody. This is a variation of dirty rice that has great flavor, and will compliment any of your dishes... or you can just eat it on its own. I made this in the test kitchen this evening, and I'm happy with the results. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.
