    White & Wild Rice

    Posted on 11/21/06
    For a easy and tasty side dish, try white & wild rice blend (or brown & wild rice), but instead of cooking in water, use chicken broth for a richer flavor.

    Follow the packaged directions for proportions (usually 2 cups broth for 1 cup rice) and add 1 tbsp of butter for each 1 cup of dry rice mix. Keep in mind this is not instant rice, depending on how many servings you are preparing, the rice could take 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Start the rice mix first then make the rest of your meal (rice needs very little tending to, just an occasional stir).

    Once rice is done (again, follow the package directions for time), season it depending on what else is being served. Some suggestions: toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce, fresh herbs, scallions, chives, or just some salt and pepper.

    Another option: while rice is cooking, saute some veggies such as celery, onion, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, or mushrooms in vegetable or olive oil. Toss with salt, pepper, and any other seasoning and combine with cooked rice.

    This can be as simple or complex as you need it to be.
