Not the healthiest of rice dishes, but the flavor is excellent! Use this dish as a side for barbequed meats on a hot summer day. The flavor is very unique and the red color makes the dish that much more interesting. This is a staple dish on the island of Guam.

2 T achiote seeds or 1T achiote powder
1/2 t. salt
2 cups onions
2 cups water or chicken stock

Saute pork fat and remove from pan. Saute onions in the fat and pour the rest of the water plus the achiote colored water & salt into a pot and add rice. Boil rice normally, or use a rice cooker. Enjoy...
