Streak o Green Dirty Rice

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 pound ground country sausage
• 2 chicken livers, trimmed and connective tissue removed
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 celery stalks with leaves, chopped with leaves reserved
• 1 jalapeno pepper, cored, seeded, and diced
• 1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice (preferably Carolina Gold)
• 2 garlic cloves, smashed and minced
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon Colmans dry mustard
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 8 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced

1. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat until sizzling hot (see Know-how, page 100).
2. Add the sausage and chicken livers and cook and stir for 3 to 4 minutes, breaking up the sausage and livers as they cook, until golden brown.
3. Drain off all but about 2 tablespoons of the fat.
4. Add the onion, celery, and jalapeno and cook and stir for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
5. Add the rice, garlic, thyme, marjoram, salt, cumin, red pepper flakes, black pepper, paprika, and mustard and stir to coat the rice.
6. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Add the broth, stir just once, and bring to a low boil.
8. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed.
9. Turn off the heat and let the rice sit, undisturbed, for 10 minutes, until the grains are tender and all the liquid is absorbed.
10. Add the reserved celery leaves, parsley, and basil and fluff with two forks before serving hot.
