Description

This Long-Grain and Wild Rice Mix offers a satisfying combination of textures and flavors, blending the chewy, nutty profile of wild rice with the softer consistency of long-grain brown rice. The addition of dried parsley and Spike seasoning creates a savory, aromatic base that elevates this simple grain dish. It serves as an excellent vegetarian and vegan side dish, adding substance to any table without overwhelming other flavors. Ideal for meal prep, this mix keeps well in the fridge, making it a convenient option for quick lunches or healthy dinner accompaniments. Serve it warm alongside roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or soups for a balanced, home-cooked feel.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the long-grain brown rice, wild rice, dried parsley, and Spike seasoning, stirring until evenly distributed.
  2. Pour 3 1/4 cups of water into a medium saucepan and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
  3. Add the rice mixture to the boiling water, reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 50 minutes.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes to allow the rice to finish steaming.
  5. Uncover the pot and fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving.

Note

For storage, allow the rice to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

You can substitute Spike seasoning with a blend of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if unavailable.

Feel free to add chopped onions, carrots, or celery to the pot during the simmering process for added flavor and nutrition.

Ensure the lid is on tight during simmering to trap steam, which helps cook the rice evenly.
