Karen'??s Corner: Dirty Rice

by Karen D. Fyke

 I’m not a fan of gizzards, and knowing they are in this recipe kind of turns me off, but this was a favorite of my folks and everyone who tastes it says it’s great. Maybe I’ll make it some time, but I have to admit that I prefer buying my chicken sans gizzards and other innards.

2 T butter (1/4 stick)
1 T oil
1 C ground yellow onion
2 C ground chicken gizzards (some hearts and livers included)
2 C regular rice
3 C chicken broth
2 T minced green onion
2 T minced fresh parsley
1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced

Preheat oven to 350°. Heat butter and oil in large ovenproof sauce pan over medium high heat. Add onion and sauté 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in gizzards and sauté until cooked. Blend in rice. Add broth, green onion, parsley and garlic and bring to a boil. Cover and bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 45 minutes. 8-10 servings.
