North American Rice and Grain Dishes

Gathers the rice- and grain-based dishes characteristic of North American culinary traditions, including Southern rice and gravy dishes, Cajun jambalaya, and grain bowls built on quinoa, wild rice and other North American staple grains. The grouping reflects how the cuisine itself treats its staple starch, whether eaten plain as an accompaniment or built into a fuller one-pot dish, rather than sorting dishes by the protein or vegetable served alongside them.
