Who knew anything "dirty" can taste this good?

Dirty rice is in no way filthy to the taste - in fact, it's the complete opposite. Commonly enjoyed in Southern America, this dish has slowly crept up to the likings of the rest of the world. What's great about dirty rice is that you can get crazy with it - add any ingredients not on the list or skip any that you don’t like. The decisions are up to you - the goal, after all, is to create a complete dish that's just right for you.

Our recipe below stays true to the classic ingredients, but, again, you can experiment with other ingredients that you like.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the pressure cooker on medium heat while preparing the other ingredients.
2. Once hot, take off the lid and add the onion and oil. Sauté until the onion is almost soft.
3. Add celery and bacon. Sauté for 3 more minutes while stirring every now and then.
4. Add the spices, garlic cloves, and rice. Mix well.
5. Add the stock, using it to scrape up bits that might've stuck to the bottom of the cooker.
6. Lock the lid of the cooker, then turn up to high heat and let it reach pressure. Once reached, lower it back to the minimum level of heat to maintain pressure. Cook for 4 minutes at high pressure.
7. Open using the Natural Release method.
8. Once the rest of the pressure has been released, open the lid. Fluff the rice and serve with parsley on top.
