The Pantry

Three entries

Long-grain rice with a golden husk, a nutty aroma, and a fluffy, slightly adhesive texture forms the foundation of this section. From that grain, a single pot built on broth, meat, and the seasoning trinity produces the canonical rice dish of the Carolina tradition. A water-grass grain harvested by canoe, sacred and botanically distinct, stands apart as its own subject.
