QUICK DIRTY RICE

Dirty rice is a type of rice used in Louisiana (Cajun) cooking which uses cooked liver to give it that "dirty" taste and look. Of course, this rice is vegan and very simple to make. Using brown rice instead of white rice gives it that "dirty" brown color.

Serves 6

1 cup uncooked brown rice
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 large onion, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning *
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 tbs chopped fresh parsley (or 2/3 tbs dried)

Place rice and 2 cups water in saucepan, bring to boil,
then simmer, cover, and cook until done (approx
30 minutes or according to package)

Saute veggies until tender and begin to brown

Add vegetable broth, Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper
and bring to boil

Add veggie mixture to rice. Cook until heated through.

Stir in parsley and serve.
