Instructions

6 steps

1
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and brown it, breaking it apart with a spoon.

2
Add the finely chopped chicken livers to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are no longer pink.
3
Stir in the "holy trinity" (onion, bell pepper, celery) and sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
4
Add the minced garlic and Cajun seasoning, stirring continuously for 1 minute to release the aromatics.
5
Fold the cooked white rice into the meat mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated and heated through (about 5 minutes).
6
Garnish with freshly chopped green onions and serve hot as a side or main dish.
