Dirty rice is a Creole dish studded with vegetables, meat, and spices. In this version, the rice is packed with green bell pepper, shallot, and cajun seasoning; we serve the pork on the side to let it shine. First we cook long-grain white rice, pork chops, and vegetables separately in the Suvie. We then sear the sous vide pork chops in a skillet until golden brown. The oil left in the pan is highly flavorful and perfect for infusing the vegetables and rice with savory flavor. If you can’t find cajun seasoning, smoked paprika can be substituted.
