Dirty Rice
This flavorful "dirty" rice is a great side dish for any dinner, especially during the holidays, alongside roast pork or fried chicken. It also makes a terrific stuffing for chicken, quail, or turkey.

In a large, heavy sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken livers and sausage and cook, stirring, until the meat is browned, about 6 minutes.
