chicken liver

🥗Healthier: mushrooms

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Mushrooms add umami without the liver flavor.

Start by using half a pound of pork sausage, cutting it in half for a small batch.

In a 12-inch cast iron skillet, heat over medium heat and add the pork sausage, cooking until browned.

Chop about half an onion and add it to the skillet.

Chop two stalks of celery and add them to the skillet.

Chop one whole red bell pepper and add it to the skillet.

Cook the vegetables with the sausage until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Add Cajun seasoning, black pepper, and salt to taste.

Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

Add rinsed long-grain rice to the skillet, cover, and reduce heat to low.

Cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 20-25 minutes.

Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.

Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in chopped green onions and parsley before serving.
