I usually make basmati rice with just a bit of lemon juice and salt. However, the relative blandness is fine because everything else I usually pair it with is so heavily spiced and flavored.
But pairing rice with BBQ....paella on the grill is one of my recent favorites. I need a proper paella pan. I like it with chicken, red or green peppers, onions, garlic, sun dried or diced tomatoes, chilies, mushrooms, and lots of spices (paprika, oregano, cumin). I was using short grain sushi rice for it, because my wife hates sticky rice by itself (I have discovered!). Now I'll have to find a cheap alternative in one of the local ethnic shops, as I'm not about to pay out the nose for some spanish "bomba" rice via mail order.
