Dirty Rice for Peppers
1 pound chicken livers
4 Tbsp. Butter, more as needed
1 medium onion, chopped
½ medium bell pepper, chopped
1 rib celery
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 bunch parsley, minced
½ tsp thyme
1 bay leaf
1 tsp. hot sauce
3 cups day old cooked rice
Finely chop chicken livers and saute with onion, bell pepper and celery, till soft. Mix in the garlic and green onions and parsley; cook for five more minutes. Mash up the livers as well as you can, you want no large pieces. Add the thyme, bay leaf, hot sauce and cook briefly to mellow the garlic. Add the rice and mix well. Cook until heated through.
This is as close as I can get to a formula. It’s really an improvised dish for the most part. Another thing you can do is cook a box of Zatarains dirty rice mix and add to this along with the leftover white rice. Could throw in some granulated garlic to taste as well. Whatever you do will be good. Look at some pictures on the internet to get the general idea.
Stuffed Tomatoes

2 cups Dirty Rice (see recipe)
Red bell pepper or roasted red pepper strips for garnish
