Description

Dirty rice is a classic Creole dish that gets its name from its appearance, with the rice being "dirty" due to the inclusion of ground meat, vegetables, and spices. Traditionally, the dish is made with white rice, but this recipe uses brown rice for a healthier twist. Additionally, using an Instant Pot makes the cooking process much quicker and easier.
