Gorgeous Dirty Rice

Directions

In large, heavy saucepan, saut pork until pink color is gone and meat is crumbly. Remove pork. Pour off all by 2 Tbsp of the fat and add onion, celery, and 1/2 cup of each of the bell peppers. Saute over low heat for 5 minutes. Then add garlic, salt, black pepper, cumin, oregano, and cayenne. Stir, and cook an additional 3 minutes. Meanwhile, bring stock to a boil in another saucepan.

Add Calmati rice to vegetable mixture and saut for a couple of minutes. Add hot stock and reserved pork. Bring to a boil reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 50-60 minutes, or until rice is cooked. Most of the broth will have cooked away if necessary, add more. NOTE, Even when the Calmati rice is cooked, it maintains a slightly crunchy texture.

While Calmati rice is cooking, boil basmati rice in another pan according to the directions on the box. When tender, drain well and reserve. When Calmati rice is done, fold in cooked basmati rice. If necessary, add more broth. The dish should be moist, but not saucy.

Top with the bell peppers, green onions, and sour cream.
