Who knew? Cooking rice on the grill? It CAN be done! Although it uses instant rice, which isn't my favorite, the result was a tasty dish that would be a great side dish. In fact, it was. I ending up eating it with the Grilled Beef Shish Kebabs.
This is actually the first time that I've tried rice on the grill. Anyone else tried it? I'm not talking about in a Dutch oven, although that definitely works. I'm talking about putting rice in some type of a pan, covering it, and cooking it on the grill. It may be a bit surprising, but it really did turn out well.
Here's the recipe:
