Directions
-
In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of uncooked long-grain rice, 4 teaspoons of dill weed or seed, 8 teaspoons of instant chicken bouillon, 5 teaspoons of dried grated lemon peel, and 2 teaspoons of salt.
-
Stir thoroughly until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the rice.
-
Transfer about 1 1/2 cups of the mixture into a 1-pint airtight container. Label it "Dill-Lemon Rice Mix" and store in a cool, dry place for up to 8 months.
-
To cook, place 1 1/2 cups of the rice mix, 2 cups of cold water, and 1 tablespoon of butter or margarine into a medium saucepan.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring once to prevent sticking.
-
Once boiling, cover the saucepan tightly and reduce the heat to low.
-
Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the liquid is fully absorbed and the rice is tender.
-
Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork and serving.
