So I wanted to make some dirty rice to go with some Cajun fish. However I did not want to use any liver, nor did I want to go to the store. So I improvised. The result was quick and tasty, and just a little bit like dirty rice. Hence Quick and Dirty Rice. Is it authentic? Hell no, I'm from New England. But it's good and a lot lower in sodium. And it's made in your electric pressure cooker for convenient, hands off cooking!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped bacon (I used the Bacon Crumbles from Costco, something my husband always keeps around!)
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 cup chopped onion
1 red pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups dry parboiled rice (like Carolina Gold)
3 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 tsp Badia Creole seafood blend seasoning
1 tsp Badia Cajun seasoning
1 bay leaf
1 tsp Tabasco or New Orleans style hot sauce
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Directions:
1. Saute bacon & veggies on saute mode. Bacon should crisp up and veggies soften.
2. Add garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant. Turn off saute mode.
3. Add rice, broth, and seasonings, stir well.
4. Add lid, lock, seal and hit "Rice". Cook 12 minutes. Let pressure release naturally 10 minutes.
5. Release rest of pressure and open. Remove bay leaf, stir well. Enjoy!
Note: You may need to adjust the amount of broth/time for cooking if you are using a different kind of rice. This is for parboiled rice, which is 1.5 c water for each cup of rice, and 12 minutes on low pressure.
