Carolina Gold

or Charleston Gold because I didn't go all in on Anson Mills...

makes an exceptional pilaf. Rice with flavor, what a concept.

First thing I thought of was the brand name of one of my favorite mustard BBQ sauces.

yep, its the rice that was raised early on in the colonial Carolinas. It was almost extinct I guess. It is supposed to be difficult to harvest.

I haven't had it, but I've heard a lot about it. Time to ask my brother in Charleston to send me some.

We're still trying to adjust to brown and black rice. This may help. I like these varietals, but I hate to cook them. K wants a rice cooker, but I don't have the counter space for an appliance I really won't use much. The ice cream maker is true to point.

I cooked the pilaf in a non stick medium heavy saute pan with a lid. Melt butter, sweat red pepper and onion with salt and white pepper, the add rice, stir, then when your have the grains all coated and maybe a little toasted add the stock/water/liquid (I used 80% stock and 20% wine), add a may leaf and a little saffron, then into a 350 oven for 15-20 minutes. I kept it on a low flame for 15 minutes to help crisp the bottom (sort of the Persian method for pilaf kind of). When I do this again I will do it all stove top.

Chef Eddie Lee has a recipe for braised Carolina rice with bacon that sounds great.
