Dirty Rice

Posted on February 8, 2012

Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
  • 14.5 ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes (or use a few seeded tomatoes from your garden)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 1/4 cups long-grain rice
  • 2 1/4 cups boiling beef stock
  • Kosher salt and pepper

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed pan.  Add the onion and pepper and cook on medium until softened, about 8 minutes.  Stir occasionally.
  2. Add the tomato and beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon until lightly browned.  About 5 minutes.
  3. Add the paprika, season with salt and pepper and mix well.  Add the rice and cook stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the boiling stock, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, until rice is tender and the majority of the liquid has been absorbed.

Serve and devour!
