Ok folks, let’s get down and dirty.I was intrigued by the name really at first. And then I was intrigued by its flavors. Dirty rice is a traditional Creole dish that is jam-packed with flavor and oomph. Why dirty? Because the white rice used in this dish gets a dirty color from being cooked with ground pork, livers and various ...
