Charlie you're the Real Deal. I am a cajun girl and you Nailed this recipe. Thank you for telling the difference between dirty rice and rice dressing. And for representing our beautiful culture and native foods. Keep doing what you do. I'm so proud of you and your channel.🎉
@@ebates73 You right too and the sad thing is that people are watching those videos and making those recipes thinking they are making Dirty Rice and the ingredients are not Authentic to the recipe itself!
This guy is Da BOSS. The real thing. Charlie, your vids are getting better and better. I have only one complaint. Everytime I watch your videos, I come away starving for the dish. In the kitchen I go.
Welp! I used half gizzards and half chicken Andouille sausage... The rice was supposed last a few days🙃.. It's already half gone! I believe this is what people call a setup.... Now I'm expected to make this all the time. Thanks a lot chef! Lol🙏
Great! Well looks like everyone enjoyed the rice lol It must be good because it's half gone already lol Glad that i was able to help! You're welcome and Thanks for leaving feedback!
I am so glad you explained the difference between real dirty rice and rice dressing because people look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them I put gizzards and liver in mine! I never thought to make chicken stock with the gizzards...thank you and I will do that from now on. I do it with veggies and chicken thighs and breast. As always, I've learned a few new methods from this video. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us. I ❤️ to cook and have since I could reach the stove!
Yes i had to. Some people don't know the difference between a traditional dirty rice and the rice dressing lol Yes i made the chicken stock to add more flavor! I didn't just want browned meat, and seasonings. Adding a stock makes it even better! You're Welcome and Thank you for commenting my fellow new orleans native!
I love the real Dirty Rice and had a lady friend that could throw down when cooking and would do dirty rice from time to time but to save my heart from her PAIN and misery I had to let her go but I do miss her cooking, but now that I found you and you show in detail how to do the dishes I love so much - I have to keep you around to fulfill my needs - I appreciate all that you do and you do it well
Charlie your the best...years ago I started cooking new orleanes food ...my room mate was from east benard...her family name is LaCaze..so your cooking helped me attain real Cajun food.
I do not like dirty rice made with ground! I just made it with your recipe. Your recipe is the "bomb diggity"!!!!! The best diry rice I ever had!!! Thanks for sharing it!
Sorry that should have said I was paprika in something I made my husband had a allergic reaction. I thank you for your recipes you give great instructions on how to use The ingredients you also take your time and show us each of the ingredients that you use. I can follow your recipes step-by-step.
I've been searching for a homemade dirty rice recipe for a long time. I have now made your recipe twice and it is by far the best. I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about the gizzards, but I trusted you and was not disappointed. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
I'm glad that you found this recipe! Great! Happy to hear that you followed my instructions and everything turned out good! You're welcome and Thanks for leaving feedback
Chef Charlie.. I really don't like to write comment But, because of the recipe . I must write this comment about your recipe and is by far the best recipe i have found and cooked is the best of the best. The way you explained it shows the love that you have for this recipe.. Chef Char you are THE NUMERO UNOOOOO!!!!! Bravooo.!!!
Great recipe and presentation! Anyone else feelin some ASMR mixed in here? Keep it goin dude, you gotta good thing here.Thanks for sharing with us. Smiles
Not from New Orleans at all. After making this dish made me feel like I was. My husband love this dish. I'm now your new follower. Thanks foe making this video. Oh this was my first time making dirty rice. and I did awesome!
Happy to hear that you feel like you are from New Orleans after making this dish. You're welcome. Glad the dirty rice turned out good. Thanks for subscribing and for leaving feedback.
WOW! I just found your channel for the first time as I was searching for a dirty rice recipe! I've watched MANY others make this, but NOTHING compares to your recipe! Thank you so much for this! Awesome!
Hey Charlie, I really enjoy your videos. I am a New Orleans native who was displaced after Katrina and now living in Colorado. I've spent a lot of time trying to find people who cook cajun/creole food right. Problem is that a lot of people who know what their doing with cajun food make sloppy videos that are hard to follow. The people that make professional videos have great videos but you can tell they don't know what their doing. You are the perfect combination. I have chef Paul Prudhomme's cookboook and you seem to cook very similar to him, adding vegetables and seasonings at various stages to create layers. Keep doing what you're doing!
Hello there! Happy to hear that you enjoy my videos my fellow New Orleans native! Yes you are right about that. Thank you so much for all the compliments! Much appreciated!
Charlie, another awesome presentation regarding “ dirty rice” and the difference between dirty rice and rice dressing. For my taste I agree with your use of gizzards rather than meat and liver as used in the “rice dressing”. The rice dressing you described reminds me of giblet turkey gravy which is very good, but your presentation and lesson on dirty rice is preferred. Thank you Charlie.
Thank you Robert for the compliments! I may come up with a new recipe video for Dirty rice using all of the ingredients like the gizzards, ground beef and liver but I may just call that one rice dressing instead of Dirty rice. You're welcome!
I like to eat dirty rice. Always bought the Box of dirty rice. Not no more bought dirty rice. Thanks to you Charlie. Now I know how to make it from scratch. I can't wait to get .The other ingredients I need. Thank you Charlie. Have a super great day.
Thanks for showing me how you cook your rice. I tried it today (without the Dirty Rice) and liked how it turned out. Your Dirty Rice recipe is close to how my Aunt makes it.
I am French Canadian and live in Ontario, Canada. Chef Andrews you are a very good teacher! You have helped me channel my Acadian ancestors. Most authentic French Canadian dishes were made with whatever was available: everything from the pig, everything from the chicken. Cattle (most people only had one cow) was kept for milk to make butter, milk, cheese etc. Can only get Zatarain's Creole seasoning by ordering it on Amazon. Anyway, Cajun your dirty rice recipe is most excellent and really feels authentic. Thank you.
Thank you Ms Genevieve for the compliments! It is amazing that you live so far away and you're watching my videos! I am happy to hear that I helped you channel your ancestors through my cooking and that you enjoyed my Dirty Rice video. That is huge compliment and I appreciate that! You're welcome!
Charlie you have the original New Orleans dirty rice recipe on UA-cam. Besides one other older New Orleans woman. Everyone else dirty rice recipe is rice dressing, ground beef, or pork sausage. Thanks for keeping the integrity of the original New Orleans recipe. ♥️♥️
Looks good. I am a New Orleans native as well. Born in New Orleans and raised on the north shore. My family never cooked dirty rice for some reason so I never knew how it was cooked. Now that I know how I will be trying your recipe soon. I have gizzards in the freezer. I fry chicken and when I do I fry up some gizzards also. My husband loves fried chicken gizzards. Sometimes I fry the livers also but usually just the gizzards. You are so neat and clean in your cooking which helps make your dishes so appealing. Love how you are representing our area with your authenic New Orleans homestyle cooking. Some cooking chanels are too fancy or the people don't take the time to wash the meat or handle raw meat then pick up the seasonings or wipe their hands on their shirt. Just nasty stuff. You my friend are definetly not nasty. I always wash my meat. Sometimes there are shreds of bone from the cutting of the meat and the raw blood. Anyway thanks for another great recipe. Take care of yourself.
I'm lil over a year late watching this it looks delicious. You know this whole time I thought New Orleans dirty rice was made with sausage lol. My grandfather( New Orleans native himself) use to make this. I never cared for gizzards( so I thought) you just might convert me. Lol I will be making your recipes soon. Thx again.
Just made this rice for the first time following your video. FIIIIIRREEEEE. I had to use some substitutions for the seasoning as my local wegmans didn't carry the ones you used. I also added a pound and a half of chicken liver. Which I turned real dark brown before mincing it. Sooooo tasty, I cant wait to make this again. Also added one habenero for some zip. THANK YOU!
Hello Mario! Happy to hear that the dirty rice turned out good. Thanks for leaving feedback! Good to hear that you added the chicken livers. Awesome! :) You're welcome!
Hi Charlie, I live in New Orleans also and I love ALL of your recipes. Very authentic and delicious. I don't have to go out to restaurants to eat gumbo or jambalaya which is my favorite. I have suggestions for things that I would love for you to make! :) BBQ ribs Fried chicken Pralines Crawfish bread BBQ shrimp Meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy
Awesome! A fellow New Orleans native like me! :) Thanks and I hope you continue to enjoy all of my recipes! Yes i see the suggestions and those should be coming soon. People really want me to make the meat loaf but i haven't cooked that in over 10 years lol
Ok boss, my dad was from NOLA. He came down to Honduras and met my mom, he stayed down here, they both had me Here as well. He showed and taught me everything I know about Cajun food. Hey bud, my wife is digging this dirty rice recipe.
Hi Charlie, Touch Down ! ! ! I follow this to the tee.. This recipe was Perfect. Chicken gizzards gives it the New Orleans cuisine. No more ground beef. LOL Thanks
Charlie Andrews : Charles you are simply the best! Dude, Houston could use your Creole & Cajun food. The foodi here is not so good. Now, there are a few African Americans who came from New Orleans working in the service industry! The New Orlean's natives are opening up their own establishments. please come to Texas because there is alot of money to be made. We have Asians, Hispanics, White and Middle Eastern people love this well seasoned cuisine! Texas wants you! If you build it and prwpare it, they will come Charles!
wow I've been mislead all my life lol. i thought dirty rice was the one with the ground beef in it. even when u but the Tonys or zatarains out the box it says add ground beef. will be trying this one for sure. we love chicken gizzards in my house hehe
Nahhh alot of people have been mislead. Traditional dirty rice is made with either chicken gizzards or chicken livers. I was under that spell at one point in my life lol I like chicken gizzards too but i don't eat them often! Thanks so much for commenting! :)
I live about 100 miles give or take a mile or two west of NO, I was taught the opposite dirty rice was with ground effects and dressing is with the gizzard and liver. Like you said I guess it's where you're from in Louisiana. Nonetheless I love your channel. Keep it up its great.
ohhh okay a louisiana native like me! Wow! Well i guess everyone in louisiana has their own way of saying and making dirty rice and rice dressing. Really depends on the area! Awesome! Thank you i'm happy that you are enjoying my channel!
I've had dirty rice sometime in my life. But I didn't know how it was prepared. I even had the rice dressing! WOW!! That was a long time ago. Thanks posting!!!
Me too! I don't make dirty rice much! Don't feel bad I haven't eaten dirty rice in over 10 years and it'll probably be another 10 years before i eat it again! lol
This is a labor intense recipe, which is probably why most don't make it very often. It's been years since I've made dirty rice, but I will be making it soon since yours looked so good. Dirty rice really is good eating!
To be honest I think it is a habit of mines I've been doing since I started cooking rice. I just decided to rinse my rice and leave it as is. I'm guessing that it removes some of the starch but it works for me! I know some people like my grandmother she used to steam her rice in a strainer after she finished cooking it!
Yes...I've done the same. My father taught me how to cook (not my mother, she is a musicia). I repeat what he did...he learned how to cook from my grandmother (his mother). That's how traditions are created I think.
With the veggies and seasonings used, this can't be anything but delicious! I like his style. His presentation from beginning to end is well orchestrated. His workspace is neat, clean and well organized. Thanks for sharing your culinary skills and New Orleans dishes. I've always said that I want to visit NO for the food, cemeteries and the slave plantation tours, but food first.
I want to make it for Christmas but I've never used organ meat. I have to make it for like 30 people. So should I just double it. Would it be ok to add beef as well.
Okay great! Yes just double the recipe! Yes you can add beef into it as well! Hope this helps! Thanks for commenting and let me know the results when you're done!
Charlie Andrews Forgot to tell you I made it for Christmas. It was so good. I think it outshined a lot of the other dishes there but we had so much food I had so much left over. I will surely use this recipe from now on as my main one for dirty rice.
I made this for Christmas and my family loved it. My daughter is asking for more and told everybody the last of the bowl was hers. Im trying some other dishes for New Years. Thank you for your excellent guidance through these videos.
It's sad but I have an Ex and that's the only thing I miss from her is her dirty rice - She used chicken livers and gizzards so I'll try it and incorporate the Chicken Livers to your recipe which is identical to her's Thanks for sharing and not having me to go back to her.
Wow. That is amazing. Happy that this recipe not only brought back memories of your Ex but it is identical to how she made her's. Now you can make it similar to how she did it! Awesome! Let me know the results when you're done! :)
OH YES!! NOW YOUR TALKING,.!! THIS I LOVE ,.. DIRTY RICE FROM NEW ORLEANS,... YOU GOT MY THUMBS UP👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁🤤🤤😋😋☺️😁 I'M GOING TO MAKE THIS... I'm So Glad I Found Your Podcast.... Keep On Keeping On....

Ohhh that looks good, Looks like you dun real good Mr. Charlie I'm already ready to eat supper for breakfast! I gotta have my Cajun food on the regular... it's always good to see a fellow Cajun cook up a messa food from back home. If any of y'all out there ain't ever had Cajun food from "NAWLINS", git to it... you don't know what y'all missin. Start off easy, try a bowl of "Gumbo" or "Red beans & rice. ~WHO-DAT!!

I was thinking the same thing most recipes on UA-cam look more like jambalaya but they seem to think it’s dirty rice.

Yep! Chicken gizzards. You can also use chicken livers as well! Awesome! Let me know the results when you're done!
I got me some gizzard. plan on making this this week. I have 2 recipe requests. how can I get them to you.
quick question why save 1 c of stock if only using 1/4 c.
Dréya B to use for other recipes...freeze the rest
Dréya B you can use sausage preferly the mild to hot to make it
LOL! The ending...good recipe! Thanks for sharing.
I know right! You're welcome and Thanks! :D
Love watching you smile and cook. You have full bottles of seasonings, pots on point. And dressed the part. You need your own TV series.🤗

Labor intensive but looks delicious. Will have to try it. Thanks Charlie
It's nothing compared to Gumbo. Now that's labor intensive! You're welcome!

Homerun Charlie!!! Wow!
Yessir lol thank you!
I could listen to you all day!! Thank you!!!!
That is good to hear. I appreciate the compliments. You're welcome!
Hey Charlie, this looks really good and I can just taste all those beautiful spices. Good job!
Heyyy there! thank you! Oh yeahh it is good! :) Thank you! :)
Charlie Andrews : Charles you are simply the best! Dude, Houston could use your Creole & Cajun food. The foodi here is not so good. Now, there are a few African Americans who came from New Orleans working in the service industry! The New Orlean's natives are opening up their own establishments. please come to Texas because there is alot of money to be made. We have Asians, Hispanics, White and Middle Eastern people love this well seasoned cuisine! Texas wants you! If you build it and prwpare it, they will come Charles!
Here I am in this winter storm in Texas got the time. Definitely going to make it when I have a boil. Thanks! 🙏🏽😌 2.18..2021
Wow. Hope you all are doing well over there. Whenever you try the recipe, let me know how it turns out. You're welcome.
wow I've been mislead all my life lol. i thought dirty rice was the one with the ground beef in it. even when u but the Tonys or zatarains out the box it says add ground beef. will be trying this one for sure. we love chicken gizzards in my house hehe
Nahhh alot of people have been mislead. Traditional dirty rice is made with either chicken gizzards or chicken livers. I was under that spell at one point in my life lol I like chicken gizzards too but i don't eat them often! Thanks so much for commenting! :)
Very easy to follow instructions. Very organized. CONGRATULATIONS, SIR !
Thanks Brian for the compliments! :D
I live about 100 miles give or take a mile or two west of NO, I was taught the opposite dirty rice was with ground effects and dressing is with the gizzard and liver. Like you said I guess it's where you're from in Louisiana. Nonetheless I love your channel. Keep it up its great.
ohhh okay a louisiana native like me! Wow! Well i guess everyone in louisiana has their own way of saying and making dirty rice and rice dressing. Really depends on the area! Awesome! Thank you i'm happy that you are enjoying my channel!
Made this and it came out great too. Lifesaver!
I am happy to hear that the Dirty Rice turned out good! Thanks for leaving feedback!
I’m a huge fan! I’d love to interview you! Let’s do a walkthrough of the 7th ward and 9th ward! From one Creole cook to another! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Hello there. That is good to hear! Sounds like a good idea my fellow New Orleans native! :)
Thanks for sharing. Looks delicious 😋.
You're welcome Salena! :)
I've had dirty rice sometime in my life. But I didn't know how it was prepared. I even had the rice dressing! WOW!! That was a long time ago. Thanks posting!!!
Me too! I don't make dirty rice much! Don't feel bad I haven't eaten dirty rice in over 10 years and it'll probably be another 10 years before i eat it again! lol
This is a labor intense recipe, which is probably why most don't make it very often. It's been years since I've made dirty rice, but I will be making it soon since yours looked so good. Dirty rice really is good eating!
LOL Yes at times it can be labor intensive! It's not that bad though! Yes you're right about that! Thanks so much for commenting! :)
Always Charlie!! :o))
QUESTION : Why do you rinse with cold water the cooked rice after it's cooked? Is it to remove more of the starch or to cool it off?
To be honest I think it is a habit of mines I've been doing since I started cooking rice. I just decided to rinse my rice and leave it as is. I'm guessing that it removes some of the starch but it works for me! I know some people like my grandmother she used to steam her rice in a strainer after she finished cooking it!
Yes...I've done the same. My father taught me how to cook (not my mother, she is a musicia). I repeat what he did...he learned how to cook from my grandmother (his mother). That's how traditions are created I think.
Okay cool. Same here with me I learned how to cook from my grandmother also! Yes you are right about that!
I think to stop it from over-cooking
@@taimaishu9589 yes iit is to Stop the cooking process if you leave it hot it will continue to cook.....
With the veggies and seasonings used, this can't be anything but delicious! I like his style. His presentation from beginning to end is well orchestrated. His workspace is neat, clean and well organized. Thanks for sharing your culinary skills and New Orleans dishes. I've always said that I want to visit NO for the food, cemeteries and the slave plantation tours, but food first.
I appreciate the compliments Theresa. You're welcome not a problem!! :)
Omg! This looks so good. I'm just going to have to move back to New Orleans and have you cook for me. 😂
Thank you! Awww that would be nice now would it lol
And now I'm following you on Facebook. It's good to learn how to cook New Orleans cajun and creole food from a Native. We know the food is official.
Awesome. Thanks for following me on Facebook as well. Yes absolutely I agree! ☺
I want to make it for Christmas but I've never used organ meat. I have to make it for like 30 people. So should I just double it. Would it be ok to add beef as well.
Okay great! Yes just double the recipe! Yes you can add beef into it as well! Hope this helps! Thanks for commenting and let me know the results when you're done!
Charlie Andrews sure will. Thx!
Charlie Andrews Forgot to tell you I made it for Christmas. It was so good. I think it outshined a lot of the other dishes there but we had so much food I had so much left over. I will surely use this recipe from now on as my main one for dirty rice.
Good job! Looks delicious 😋
And, your instructions were excellent 👌

It's sad but I have an Ex and that's the only thing I miss from her is her dirty rice - She used chicken livers and gizzards so I'll try it and incorporate the Chicken Livers to your recipe which is identical to her's Thanks for sharing and not having me to go back to her.
Wow. That is amazing. Happy that this recipe not only brought back memories of your Ex but it is identical to how she made her's. Now you can make it similar to how she did it! Awesome! Let me know the results when you're done! :)
