Dirty Rice Origins
Dirty rice comes from the plantations in Louisiana. This recipe incorporates wild turkey liver for the dirty rice. When there were many people to feed but little resources to feed them all people added what they had plenty of which was chicken or hog livers from the slaughtered chickens. White rice was abundant in Louisiana and was a staple of poor folks and probably originated as slave cuisine- liver mixed with cajun spices and vegetables created a dish that looked dirty.
