Dirty rice (a Cajun dish made with white rice, chicken liver or giblets, ground pork or beef, and seasonings) is a mixed bag for gout. The rice itself is low in purines and safe, but the organ meat (chicken liver/giblets) and ground meat are moderate to high in purines, particularly the liver which is very high in purines. Additionally, the dish is often high in sodium and saturated fat from the meats and seasonings. While not an immediate trigger food for everyone with gout, dirty rice should be eaten only occasionally and in small portions due to the purine load from organ meats. A gout-friendly version could substitute the liver with lean ground meat or plant-based alternatives and use low-sodium seasonings.
