grain suggestion for company

Nothing like waiting until the last minute to ask... but we're having Pete's boss over for dinner tonight.  I'm making a pork loin stuffed with garlic and herbs with a roasted red pepper sauce, and either roasted asparagus or roasted green beans.  I can't decide on what the grain should be.


He (the boss) claims to eat everything.


Any ideas for a company-worthy grain dish that isn't "saucy," since the pork will be sauced?  I thought mashed sweet potatoes, and serve the pork atop, but my dh really hates sweet potatoes.


Since it's company, should I make mashed regular as well as sweet?  Or can someone give me a better idea???


TIA.
