CLASSIC CAJUN DIRTY RICE

Steps:

• Combine the bacon fat and flour and make a dark roux. Add the onion, green pepper and celery and cook 15 minutes over medium heat.
• Add the ground beef, pork and chicken giblets cooking over high heat until browned.
• Add enough water in which a bouillon cube has been dissolved to make the mixture a thick gravy. Add the garlic and a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce; season to taste with the salt and black and red pepper.
• Cook slowly for 30 minutes; do not let the mixture get too thick adding a little more water if needed to keep it saucy. Mix with the cooked rice, parsley and onions. Cover and heat on a low fire for 15 minutes. Fresh cantaloupe or cabbage slaw goes well with this dish.
