He recommends using Carolina Gold rice, an heirloom variety of long-grain rice hand-harvested by Anson Mills. Level Intermediate Prep Time 30 minutes Cook Time 35-40 minutes Serves 6 Cook it With Our Cast Iron Covered Deep Skillet Ingredients 4 tablespoons bacon drippings 1 small yellow onion, diced 1 cup diced celery (inner leaves included) 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons (plus one teaspoon) kosher salt, or more to taste 2 cups canned organic whole plum tomatoes (with their juice), chopped 2 cups chicken stock 2 tablespoons vinegar or cider vinegar (if you use cider vinegar, add a pinch of red pepper flakes) 1 ¼ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper ¾ teaspoon dried thyme 2 bay leaves 2 dried chiles d'arbol, chopped, or pinch of red pepper flakes 2 cups raw Carolina Gold long-grain rice ½ pound andouille or chorizo sausage, grilled and sliced 1 pound shrimp, ½-inch thick, preferably fresh, peeled, deveined, and cut into bite-sized pieces Directions Heat 2 tablespoons each of the bacon drippings and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until foamy. Add the onion, celery, garlic, and 1 tablespoon of the salt and cook, stirring, until the onion and garlic are tender. Add the tomatoes, stock, vinegar, another tablespoon of the salt, 1 teaspoon of the pepper, the thyme, bay leaves, and chiles and simmer for 15-20 minutes, tasting for seasoning. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons bacon drippings and 2 tablespoons of the butter together in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat until foamy. Add the rice and cook, stirring frequently, until it is opaque, 5-6 minutes. This step is very important to the final flavor of the dish, so don’t stint on the time but also don’t let the rice burn. Add 4 cups of the tomato mixture to the rice, stir to combine, and cover. Set a timer and cook the rice for 25 minutes over very low heat. DO NOT LIFT THE LID. After 25 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rice sit for 5 more minutes. AGAIN, DO NOT LIFT THE LID. In the meantime, add the sausage to the remaining tomato mixture in the saucepan, cover, and keep warm over very low heat. While the rice is sitting, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat until foamy. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until just cooked through; add the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add the shrimp to the sausage and tomato mixture and stir to combine. Pour the shrimp and sausage mixture over the rice. Gently fluff the rice (you don’t want to break the grains) to combine. Serve immediately.
