Love the name. I was was wondering how the recipe got it's name ?

Because it's sooo sexy...Dirty rice is originally made with chicken livers and gizzards or "giblets" as we call it in the south. Hence the dirty-ish look.

Dirty Rice recipe, please and thank you!
That looks sooooo good!

Hmmm....
I'm a "play it by ear" cook, so will have to think... I prepared the rice ahead of time and set aside a total of three cups cooked. In a heavy skillet with about 4 tbs oil I sauteed-
3/4 cup each finely chopped bell pepper and celery
3 cloves minced garlic
1 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped parsley
Cooked it till soft and added 1/2 tsp each ground cumin and oregano and 1 TBS Cajun seasoning,a good shake Cayenne pepper, and two bay leaves.
Stirred in a couple of dashes vegan Worcestershire and a couple drops liquid smoke, three crumbled vegan sausage patties, 1 cup cooked red beans, and about one cup shredded vegan chick'n.
Oh, and I added a small can chopped green chiles as well.
Folded these gently into the rice and cooked till warmed through on low heat.
Garnish with chopped green onion and serve with bottled Louisiana hot sauce.
The fun thing about dirty rice is that it can be made in a variety of ways,depending on taste . I've added chopped Italian sausage in the past which is yummy and sometimes omit the faux meat and add beans or even cooked lentils.

You're like a true pioneer woman, all you need is one trusty iron skillet and a little ingenuity to create a good hearty meal. (=

Skillet fajita chick'n nachos with veganized queso blanco. Had tons of leftovers which will be transformed into some sort of casserole tomorrow.

I bet those leftovers could make a tasty fritatta or tofu scramble concoction.

Super easy. I soaked a pack of veg chicken strips in a fajita lime marinade for about three hours.Fajita Marinade I Recipe - Allrecipes.com Next I threw the entire thing into a skillet and cooked till the sauce reduced and was mostly absorbed . Then the strips spent some time in my George Foreman and were cooled and chopped. I followed this recipe for the queso blanco, taking the poster's advice to sub Daiya garlic jalapeno havarti for the mozz and added about one half cup veg sour cream. Poured this over the chips, topped with a handful each of corn, green onion, cilantro and added jalapenos to taste. Done and did. Silk Recipes: Vegan Queso Blanco | Silk

I like the chill lime corn. All your recipes sound so exotic and tasty. I wish that I could find all these Mexican ingredients over here.

We are fortunate to live very close to the Gulf of Mexico and the Mexico border. There are Hispanic grocers and street vendors on every corner. It's so much fun to shop for new spices.

So the leftover chick'n nachos with a few additions were transformed into King Ranch chick'n casserole. Served it up with shredded lettuce, cilantro, jalapenos and a dab of vegan sour cream. I'm still full!

Pot pie with rosemary dumplings on top. Hoping a little comfort food will usher in cooler temperatures.
