Makes 3 cups cooked rice

You may want to play with it a bit. The wild rice needs a longer cooking time is what we have found out. We use regular rice and not minute rice.

DRY MIX
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder
1 teaspoon dry chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon dry minced parsley
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons seasoned salt

RICE MIXTURE
2 cups water
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 cup premium minute rice
1/3 cup dry wild rice

Combine all of the ingredients as listed in Dry Mix in medium saucepan. Add to this water, butter, rice and dry wild rice. Bring to boil. Stir once or twice just to combine. Cover pan with lid tightly. Simmer gently 8 to 10 minutes or until almost all liquid has been absorbed.
