Dirty Rice

My inspiration for creating this blog is Michael Chu and his site. After I've seen his mouth-watering recipes on his site, I can't wait to try one of them. I've just tweaked most of the ingredients because I have a large family of 6 members. So here it is, Dirty Rice from Michael Chu's site.

Here are the Ingredients I've prepared:

• 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 334g. of chicken gizzards, chopped
  
• 426g. of chicken livers, chopped
  
• 1 medium white onion, chopped
  
• 1 celery rib, chopped
  
• 1 medium red bell pepper (sorry, the bell pepper is not yet red and I can't see a ripe bell pepper), chopped
  
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 1kg. of rice, uncooked
  
• 1.5L. of chicken stock
  
• 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp. salt

1. Heat vegetable oil in a thick pot over medium heat.
2. Add the chicken gizzards. Cook until brown.
   
3. Add the chicken livers. Cook until brown.
   
   
4. Add in the onion until it becomes tender.
   
5. Add the celery, garlic and red bell pepper and stir for 3 minutes.Liver will start to become grounded.
   
6. Mix in the rice and add chicken stock.
   
7. Season it with salt, black and cayenne pepper.
   
8. Bring to boil over high heat while constantly stirring.
   
9. Lower the heat. Cover and simmer it for 20-30 minutes or until the rice becomes cooked.
10. fluff them and transfer it to a large bowl. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
    
11. Serve.
    

Things I've considered:

I make sure that I know how to cook rice and how much water I need to cook it. But since our rice is not that hard to cook, I've deal with it through estimations. You can seek advise from experts regarding this if you don't know how to make an estimate.
