Guam's Red Rice

---

This was sent to me by a resident of guam via an online gaming community. it is intended to be made in a rice cooker. refer to your manufacturer's directions for the correct amount of liquid to use with this quantity of rice.

---

Steps

---

Place the achiote seeds in 2 cups of water to soak , and lightly grind along the edge until the water is a deep red.

---

The darker the water the darker shade of red the rice will be.

---

The water will stain most material so i recommend a clear glass and a stainless steel spoon.

---

After you have the desired color , filter the water through a cloth or fine sieve that will separate the colored water from any seeds and foreign material.

---

Set the colored water aside.

---

Wash rice and drain.

---

Place in a rice cooker with the achiote water from above , salt , onions , oil , and bacon , if using.

---

Close the rice pot and push the start button.
