Dirty Rice

• 1/2 lb. chicken giblets (heart removed)
• 1 large yellow onion, quartered
• 1 green bell pepper, stemmed and seeded
• 1 rib celery, halved
• 1/2 lb. ground pork (or better yet, substitute 1/3 of this with pork liver)
• 2 Tbsp. butter
• 2 tsp. salt-free Creole seasoning
• 2 tsp. salt, plus more to taste
• 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
• 2/3 tsp. marjoram
• 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
• 1 1/2 cups Uncle Bens or other parboiled rice
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
2. Working in 2-3 batches, finely chop the giblets, onion, bell pepper, and celery in a food processor.
3. Set aside.
4. Saute the ground pork in a skillet until all the pink is gone.
5. Drain the excess fat and set aside.
6. Melt the butter in a large, heavy saucepan.
7. Add the giblet-vegetable mixture and saute until the onion is clear.
8. Add the Creole seasoning, the 2 teaspoons of salt, Worcestershire sauce, crushed red pepper, and marjoram, and stir to combine.
9. Cover the pot, lower the heat, and let simmer while you prepare the rice.
10. Put the stock, rice, and salt to taste into another saucepan.
11. Bring the stock to a boil, lower to a simmer, cover, and cook 25 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed.
12. When the rice is cooked, fluff it with a kitchen fork and add it to the pan with the chicken-vegetable mixture.
13. Add the ground pork and stir to distribute all the ingredients.
14. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
15. Place the rice loosely in a casserole dish and bake for 5 minutes, or longer if the rice is very damp.
16. It should be a little dry but not hard.
