Description

This Long-Grain & Wild Rice Mix offers a satisfying texture and nutty flavor profile that elevates any meal. The combination of chewy brown rice and earthy wild rice creates a robust base that stands up well to bold seasonings like dried parsley and savory spice blends. It is an ideal choice for health-conscious diners seeking a gluten-free, vegan-friendly option. Serve it as a warm side dish alongside roasted vegetables or grilled meats, or let it cool completely to use as the foundation for a vibrant grain salad. Its versatility makes it a staple for meal prep, potlucks, or a simple weeknight dinner that feels both comforting and nutritious.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rinse the long-grain brown rice and wild rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring 3 1/4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
  3. Stir in the rinsed rice, dried parsley, and Spike seasoning.
  4. Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, then reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
  5. Simmer undisturbed for 50 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
  6. Remove from heat and let the rice stand, covered, for 10 minutes to steam and finish cooking.
  7. Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving.
