Healthy and nutritious, red rice has a slightly nutty flavor and contains more fiber than regular rice. To prepare it deliciously, simply boil it and, while it's hot, toss with fried onions, ginger, dried cherries, and fresh spinach until the greens wilt. A dressing of freshly squeezed orange juice adds even more flavor to red rice. Serve as a side dish with meat or poultry.
