Dirty Rice

This is a recipe I developed back in the '70's. I have shared it countless times. Everyone seems to enjoy it...I hope you do too.

Serves 8-10

• 16 ounces bulk pork sausage, hot (I like Jimmy Dean)
• 2-3 bunches green onions
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons Black Orchid Cajun Seasoning *
• 2 1/2 cups white rice, cooked
  

1. Bring rice in 4 cups water to a boil and simmer on lowest flame for 20 minutes.
   
2. Chop green onions into ¼” pieces separating green tops and white bottoms.
   
3. On high heat, sauté sausage breaking it apart until it looks like loose ground meat. Add bottoms of green onions and cook until meat is cooked through. Add a small amount of water to prevent drying out.
4. Turn off heat and mix in Cajun seasoning (add more or less than 1 Tablespoon to your taste). Add green onion tops and toss in hot meat mixture until just heated through, about 30 seconds.
5. Add cooked rice and mix very well.

COMMENT: This rice is an excellent accompaniment for all meats. We simple cannot barbecue without this on the menu.
