Not-quite-so-dirty Red Rice Recipe

	Docjoe / All my dishes 1 year, 3 months ago This rice is a meal in itself, and does without the chicken livers and gizzards of Dirty Rice. This rice uses ham and bacon (try to get bacon that's not too salty). A real tasty side dish that you can spice up with some bottled sot sauce if you like. Prep:25m Cook:40m Servings:8	Docjoe

Ingredients

1/4 pound slab bacon, diced 1/4"

1/3 baked ham, diced 1/4"

1 medium sweet onion, diced 1/4"

1 red bell pepper, diced 1/4"

2 cups uncooked long-grain rice

1/2 tsp. Old Bay Seasoning

1 can (14 oz.) plum tomatoes, chopped (with juices)

4 small/medium tomatoes, diced 1/2"

1 tsp. sugar

4 cups chicken broth

Directions

Place bacon in a pot and cook until fat is rendered and bacon is slightly crisp.

Remove bacon from pot with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Discard all but 2 Tbl. of the bacon grease.

Add onion and pepper to the grease and cook over low heat, stirring, for 10 minutes or until wilted.

Add the rice and cook stirring for 2 minutes.

Add the ham, reserved bacon and Old Bay Seasoning.

Add all tomatoes, sugar and chicken broth.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender (stir a couple of times while it's cooking).

Serve hot.
