Rice is big in the Carolinas. Red rice is a specific kind of pilau that comes from the Gullah, a community of people in the rural, isolated coastal area between Charleston and Savannah who have retained much of their African culture for more than 300 years. This dish is traced back to an African dish called Jollof rice, and can be either a side, or add chicken or shrimp to make it a main course.
