Dirty Rice Dressing
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 sticks celery chopped
1/2 medium onion diced
1 pound andouille sausage chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
2.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock
1 (8 ounce) box Tony Chachere’s Creole Dirty Rice Mix
1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/2 red bell pepper chopped
Garnish:
Scallions chopped, to taste
Fresh parsley chopped (optional)
Directions
Add the butter, olive oil, celery, and onion to a pot over medium-high heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, prep the sausage.
Add the sausage to the pot, and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the garlic to the pot and cook for 30 seconds.
Stir in the chicken broth, Tony’s Dirty Rice mix, breadcrumbs, and red pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, and then reduce the heat and cover the pot so it’s simmering. I suggest medium-low heat, but you may need to turn it down even more if it’s simmering too rapidly.
Cook for 25 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is mostly soaked up. I like to give the dirty rice dressing a stir several times throughout cooking to ensure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot.
Garnish with scallions and parsley and serve immediately.
