WHAT INGREDIENTS ARE IN DIRTY RICE?

Dirty rice is a dish made with rice, meat, and vegetables. The meat is usually pork or chicken, and the vegetables can include onions, bell peppers, celery, and tomatoes. The rice is cooked in the meat and vegetable juices, which gives it a distinctive flavor. Dirty rice is often served with beans or salad.
