Crawling Swamp Rice

one coarsely chopped onion
two minced cloves of garlic
one chopped bell pepper
one stick finely diced celery
shotglass of bacon drippings
one-quarter the meat of a sow's leg, from knee to ankle, cured and cubed
handful of minced parsley
one crumbled bay leaf
one large pinch of crumbled thyme
one large pinch cayenne pepper
small handful of salt
three crushed tomatoes, thickened down to a thin paste
one large tomato, diced.
pint of cold water
pint of rice
three raw par'chuul'va, shelled, devined, and diced[1]
Method
Set a large kettle-not iron: bronze is more pleasing to the Dragon Below!-over a moderate flame.
Sauté the onion, garlic, bell pepper and celery in the bacon drippings for 8 to 10 minutes until they are limp and golden. Add the parsley, sow's leg, bay leaf, thyme & cayenne pepper.
Sauté, stirring often, for several minutes. Add the salt, diced tomato and its juice, thickened tomatoes, and water.
Simmer the kettle, uncovered, for a few more minutes, breaking up any large clumps of tomatoes. Raise or lower the kettle from the fire so that the mixture simmers gently.
Stir in the rice, cover the kettle, and boil for the better part of an hour.
Add the par'chuul'va, turning them into the mixture.
Cover the kettle and simmer until the par'chuul'va are cooked through, the rice is done, and almost all of the liquid has been absorbed.
Add additional salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
Serves one of the People, or five s'na'grthak[2].


[1] Par'chuul'va ("stupid little chuuls", in Orcish) are tiny aberrations found in shallow fresh water throughout the Crawling Swamp. They resemble very small (15 cm.) chuuls. If these are unavailable-or if your guests object to consuming aberrations-crayfish may be substituted.
[2] S'na'grthak ("weak-but-smart", in Orcish): polite orc term for the common races.
