DIRTY RICE

1/2 pound chicken gizzards
1/2 pound chiken livers
(or one pound of either)
2 onions, quartered
1 sweet bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery

Put all the above through a grinder. Be careful if you are using a food processor--you want it ground, not paste. Then heat 2 Tablespoons of olive (or other) oil in a deep skillet. Add the meat/veg mixture and cook for 1 hour. A bay leaf is optional.

1 cup white rice (raw)
2 cups water
Cook rice----you know how to do that....
Mix the ground meat and veggies with the cooked rice. Add chopped parsley, cayenne (or Cajun spice) to taste.
