Mince onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic. Grind livers and gizzards.

stirring occasionally. Stir in the onion, celery, bell pepper,
garlic, Tabasco, salt, pepper, paprika, mustard, cumin, thyme, and

stir until melted. Reduce heat to medium and cook about 8 minutes,
stirring constantly and scraping pan bottom well. Add the stock or water

about 8 minutes over high heat, stirring once. Then stir in the
chicken livers and cook about 2 minutes. Add the rice and stir
thoroughly; cover pan and turn heat to very low; cook about 5
minutes. Remove from heat and leave covered until rice is tender,
about 10 minutes. Remove bay leaves and serve immediately.
