One component of the perfect N'Awlins meal is dirty rice but any pre-packed option will easily have 700+ mg of sodium per serving. Way too high so I decided to go it on my own. I used brown rice for this version but I'm sure white rice would work just as well.

Also, be sure to check the ingredient labels for your canned and bottled items. I selected low sodium kidney beans and no salt added tomatoes keeping the overall salt count very low. Additional options would be to use dried kidney beans pre-soaked for 4 - 6 hours and 2 medium fresh tomatoes. In my case, the canned options were low enough to make this a very easy low sodium dirty rice dish to prepare.

1 Cup Brown Rice
2 Cups Water
1 16oz Can Dark Red Kidney Beans
1 16 Oz Can Crushed Whole Tomatoes
1 Medium Yellow Onion
2 Tbsp Smoked Paprika
1 Tsp Black Pepper
1 Tsp Celery Seed
Several Splashes Tobasco Sauce
Several Splashes Worcestershire Sauce

In a crock pot combine the rice, water, kidney beans and tomatoes.

Using a food processor mince the onion and then add to the crock pot. Add the remainder of the ingredients and stir to mix well ensuring the tomatoes are broken up.

Cook on high heat for 1 hour, give it a good stir, and then reduce the heat to low and allow to simmer for another 2 - 2 1/2 hours.

Serves 4 - 6

Sodium Content = 80 MG/Serving
