Dirty Rice

• 1-1/2 cups rice
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• giblets from 6 chickens (chopped fine)
• 1/2 tsp. thyme
• 1/2 tsp. sage
• 2 tbls. salt
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 onions
• 1 tsp. hot pepper sauce

Brown rice in oil, stirring constantly. Add giblets and cook slowly. Boil gizzards first if tough.

Add seasonings and 3 cups water. Cook until done. If rice gets soft too quickly, raise heat. Oysters, ham or shrimp may be substituted for giblets.
