Note

The recipe title refers to the dark, speckled appearance of the rice after baking, often jokingly called "dirty rice" due to the color from the mushrooms and onion soup.

Do not lift the foil during baking; the rice needs to steam to cook properly.

If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the beef consomme with vegetable broth.

For best results, use long grain brown rice as specified; white rice may cook faster and require less liquid or time.

Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes after baking before fluffing with a fork.
