INSTRUCTIONS

You might enjoy this recipe for dirty rice.  It's from my favorite
Cajun cookbook by Marjie Lambert, Cajun Cooking:  Succulent Recipes
from Louisiana. It serves 6 as a side dish.  Put the gizzards in a
small saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a  boil.  Reduce the
heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour, adding extra  water if
necessary. Drain the gizzards and set aside until cool  enough to chop.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the oil.  Saute the onions,
celery, green pepper and garlic until the vegetables are limp, about 5
minutes.  Add the livers and pork and cook, stirring, until meat is
browned. Add the chopped gizzards, along with chicken stock and  spices
and continue cooking until the liquids are slightly reduced.  Taste and
adjust seasonings.  If the rice was not cooked with salt, you will need
to add more salt  here. Add the rice, green onions and parsley, and
cook just until  heated through, about 2 minutes.  Bon appetit!  PAT
