- 1 cup long grain brown rice
- 1/4 cup freeze dried mixed
vegetables (see variation)
- 1 tablespoon dry green pepper
- 1 teaspoon dry parsley
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 2 vegetable or chicken bouillon
cubes
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- Pinch Turmeric (for color)
- 3 tablespoon dry milk powder
Choose one of the varieties of rice
suggested above. Combine it and all of the
other ingredients in a resealable plastic
container. I like to use zip-lock bags.
Label and Seal and the container. Store on
the pantry shelf. This is enough for 1
package of mix. Make several at a time for
the most conveneince.
To Prepare:
- 2 tablespoons margarine
- 1 package of Creamy Garden Vegetable
Rice Mix
- 2-1/2 cups water
Combine the rice and all of the other
ingredients in a resealable plastic
container. I like to use zip-lock bags.
Label and Seal and the container. Store on
the pantry shelf. This is enough for 1
package of mix. Make several at a time for
the most convenience.
To Prepare:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 package of Red Rice Mix
- 14 or 15 oz can of tomatoes
- 1-1/2 cups water
In a 2 quart saucepan combine the
margarine, Rice Mix and water. Bring the
mixture to a boil. Place a lid on the pot.
Reduce the heat to the lowest possible
flame. Cook the mixture for 45 minutes over
low heat. Serve hot.
Variation: Freeze Dried Mixed Vegetables are
available at my local health food store in
the spice section. If they aren't available
to you, then you can use an 8 oz can of
mixed vegetables instead. Prepare the dry
mix above, omitting the freeze dried
vegetables. Place the package of dry mix in
a paper bag with an 8 oz can of mixed
vegetables. When you prepare the cooked
rice, reduce the water to 2 cups and add the
undrained can of mixed vegetables along with
the margarine. Using the canned vegetables
will give you more vegetables than if you
used the freeze dried. Many people prefer it
this way.
White Bean and Garden Rice: Cook the Creamy
Garden Vegetable Rice as directed. Add a
well drained 15 oz can of navy beans with
the margarine and rice mix. Cook as
directed. Makes a lovely main dish.
