Place fat, gizzards, pork and bay leaves in large heavy skillet over high

occasionally. Stir in the onion, celery, bell pepper, garlic, Tabasco,
salt, pepper, paprika, mustard, cumin, thyme, and oregano; stir thoroughly,
scraping pan bottom well. Add the butter and stir until melted. Reduce heat
to medium and cook about 8 minutes, stirring constantly and scraping pan
botton well. Add the stock and stir until any mixture sticking to the pan
bottom comes loose; cook about 8 minutes over high heat, stirring once.
Then stir in the livers and cook about 2 minutes. Add the rice and stir
thoroughly; cover pan and turn heat to very low; cook about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and leave covered until rice is tender, about 10 minutes.
Remove bay leaves and serve immediately. From: Ellen Cleary (Fidonet
