Dirty rice or also called cajun rice is a traditional south Louisiana specialty dish. Authentic dirty rice is made with meat and chicken livers and is served as a side dish.

In this vegan recipe, I used tofu which is cooked in a spicy most flavourful sauce and then mixed with the rice which is cooked in a broth.

This is a simple plant based rice dish with a lot of spice made in less than 30 minutes. Steamed collards or simply roasted butternut squash go especially well with this Louisiana dish
