Dirty rice is a spicy Cajun dish typically made with sausage, chicken giblets, and vegetables—the meats color the rice and make it look “dirty.” There are as many versions of the dish as there are cooks. This one, contributed by Tanya Holland of Brown Sugar Kitchen, in Oakland, California, is spicy, light, and meatless.

Preparation
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil to the pan followed by the peppers, onion, and garlic. Cook the vegetables until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce and the rice. Stir to mix the rice evenly with the vegetables and sauce. Add the herbs, salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne, and green onions. Lower the heat and cook gently for 10 to 15 minutes more. Taste and, if needed, add more salt before serving.
