Serve with Emeril's Delmonico Crispy Pork Cheeks.
Recipe from Emeril’s Delmonico by Spencer Minch, courtesy Emeril Lagasse
| 1 tablespoon vegetable oil | 1/2 teaspoon salt | |
| 1 tablespoon butter | 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander | |
| 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion | 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin | |
| 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper | 1/4 teaspoon cayenne | |
| 1/4 pound ground pork | 2 cups cooked long grain white rice | |
| 1/4 pound chicken livers, pureed | 1/4 cup beef stock or canned, low sodium beef broth | |
| 2 bay leaves | Dash of Tabasco, or other Louisiana hot sauce, or to taste | |
| 1 tablespoon finely chopped jalapeno |
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. When hot, add the butter, onions, and bell peppers and sauté vegetables until tender and lightly caramelized, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the pork and cook, using the spoon to break the pork into small pieces of meat, until well-browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the liver puree, bay leaves, jalapeno, salt, coriander, cumin, and cayenne and cook until liver is cooked through and spices are fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice and beef stock and continue to cook, stirring, until well-combined and rice is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Adjust the seasoning if necessary and add hot sauce to taste.
