Forbidden Rice

Isn't that the most marvelous name for a simple food? Forbidden rice (aka black rice and purple rice) is an heirloom variety that is super-nutritious. It's also fun to eat. I bought some last week and just last night remembered it- this delicious dish was the result; a warm rice salad with mango, avocado, scallions, serrano pepper, lime and a bit of rice wine vinegar and safflower oil. I'll definitely post the recipe and be making it again soon.I also grilled some pineapple which is just awesome. Have you realized how big into grilling fruit I am? LOVE it. I neglected to photo the pineapple but imagine thick-cut pineapple "steaks" sweet and caramelized and warm. Mmm...
