Vegan Dirty Rice
Chef Monsieur Doughboy Presents Dirty Rice
Get Down and Dirty
Vegetarians and vegans often crave rich, meaty tasting dishes but have no idea how to achieve that and remain faithful to their meat free commitment. But a little thought and a lot of inspiration can help solve this issue.
Dirty rice is one of the foods I often crave. This slightly spicy food is easy to make and is filling, helping the diner feel full longer. Additionally rice is a very healthy food and has been a staple of many cultures for thousands of years, being the primary food for over three million people the world over.
Rice contains many necessary nutrients, including Protein, Iron, Fiber, Vitamin B and Manganese. White rice contains fewer of these benefits although many vitamins are added back in after the hulling process is complete.
Brown or black rice may be used in the following Dirty Rice recipe to add nutrients and other health factors. Whatever kind of rice the chef decides to use, this dish is guaranteed to be delicious. Even kids will ask for a second helping.
