Cook the rice in 2 cups of the chicken stock or broth .

Reserve aside the other 1/2 cup of the stock or broth.

Chop or grind gizzards, liver and pork and place in a large frying
pan that has a cover.

Fry the meat mixture in the butter until it loses its pink coloring.

Add in the onion, celery, garlic, and peppers.

Sauté together about 4-5 minutes.

Pour in the reserved stock and add the cooked rice.

Stir all ingredients together.

Cover and simmer over a low heat for about 8-10 minutes - until
liquid is absorbed.
