How to Make Baby Kay's Dirty Rice

  2. Add 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 stalks celery (chopped), and 1 green bell pepper (chopped). Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in 3 cups of cooked long-grain white rice. (You can use leftover rice for extra convenience!)
  5. Reduce heat to low, stir in 1/2 cup of chicken broth (or water), and simmer for 5 minutes to heat through and allow flavors to meld.
  6. Serve hot and enjoy! Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
