Boil oysters until
firm; drain, but save water. If oysters are fresh, save water
from oysters, too. May need to put water through a strainer
until comes out clear. Separately boil gizzards until tender;
drain and set aside. Brown beef in skillet until thoroughly
cooked. Once oysters and chicken livers are cooled, add them
and chicken liver to food processor and chop until mixture resembles a
paste. Set aside. Once beef is browned, drain, then
add onions and cook 15 minutes. Add bell pepper, parsley,
garlic and celery and cook 15-20 minutes, stirring
continuously. Add oyster mixture to ground beef
mixture. Stir together and add beef stock and water reserved
from oysters. Bring to a boil. Lower fire and
simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring frequently to prevent
sticking. Add salt and pepper to taste; cook 10
minutes. Add cooked rice a little at a time until you reach
desired consistency (not too sticky nor too dry).
