Comments about Bhutanese Red Rice:

This rice is incredible. I steamed it in my rice cooker, and it has a nutty flavor, an al dente texture, and the grains cook up separately. I can see where it would be a great partner to grilled vegetables. Just make sure you rinse it thoroughly before cooking so it doesn't "bubble up" too much. It left red bubbles on my rice cooker that may have stained it if I hadn't cleaned it immediately.
