Syn Free Dirty Rice

Dirty rice is a recent phenomenon is slimming world circles, due to it being a delicious and inexpensive option for lunch or dinner. A massive batch can be cooked, and it can be refridgerated for 2-3 days. This dirty rice dish has origins in the "Dirty South", the southern states of america known for soul food which satisfies the appetite wholly.

For this reason, my spin on dirty rice is an adaptation of a Louisiana recipe. The below quantities serves 4.
