I tried a new (to me) rice... Brown Jasmine. What a wonderful experience...
I had kind of despaired at the thought of not having my beloved Basmati since I'm trying to switch to brown rice for most applications. But on a shopping jaunt to Trader Vic's (OK, Trader Joe's for the This Old Chef-uninitiated) several weeks ago with castmate Cassandra Bissell... I came across this intriguing grain and had to try it right away.
It's just incredible... with the same great perfume... and I'm beginning to really appreciate the chew of brown rice... and to miss it when I have the white!
Ah... fiber and flavor!
