Black rice is one of the handful of superfoods. This rice is so flavorful and has a very unique presentation as it cooks up to a deep purple color. This rice goes great with just about any meal as a nice healthy side. I love to make it with salmon and a side of fresh veggies.

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from burning.
  • Don't stir the rice while it's cooking: This will break up the grains and make the rice mushy.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: This will allow the rice to absorb all of the flavors and aromas.
  • Experiment with different ingredients: You can add vegetables, nuts, fruits, or herbs to your rice pilaf to create different variations.
