Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large skillet or pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

  3. 3

    Add Meat and Garlic

    Stir in the chopped chicken liver and ground pork/sausage. Cook until the meat is browned. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the rinsed rice, chicken broth, bay leaves, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and thyme to the pot. Stir everything together.

  5. 5

    Cook the Rice

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat, discard bay leaves, and fluff the rice with a fork. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
