Boil giblets until tender in salted water. Grind giblets and replace in
broth. Saut‚ onion, garlic, celery and bell pepper in a little bacon
drippings in large, heavy pot. When limp, add 1 cup hot water and cook
slnwly until vegetables are tender. Add pork and cook until almost “fried”
but not brown. Add ground giblet and broth and simmer down until mushy. Add
rice. Since other ingredients differ from time to time, do not add all rice
at once but try two cups or more until right consistency is reached. Taste
for seasoning. Add uncooked green onion tops and parsley. Turn off heat and
cover tightly. Heat thoroughly just before serving.
The secret to this dressing is to keep all ingredients moist at all
stages of the cooking never let anything reach a “dry” or “fried” stage Be
sure to make enough for the next day–its even better heated over!
