Ingredients
1 tablespoon pure olive oil
1 sweet onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 poblano chile, cored, seeded, and chopped
3 garlic cloves, very finely chopped
4 ounces chicken livers, finely chopped, or chicken andouille sausage, casings removed and finely chopped
1 cup long-grain white or jasmine brown rice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups water
1 cup coarsely chopped collard greens, finely chopped (about 4 ounces)
Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 green onions, trimmed and thinly sliced
Hot sauce, for serving
Directions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and poblano and cook until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the chicken livers and cook until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Stir in the rice, thyme, paprika, cayenne pepper, the 2 cups water, and chopped collard greens. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Cover and decrease the heat to simmer. Cook until the rice is tender, about 18 minutes, or for brown rice, about 35 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. No peeking! Add the green onions and fluff with a fork to combine. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve warm with hot sauce on the side.
