I got this off a package of Lundberg gourmet whole grain rice mix. I have changed the recipe slightly. I think this would also be good with a little cumin added. Ingredients:
1/2 cup long grain brown rice |
1/2 cup wild rice |
2 cups water (or broth) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
salt |
1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter) |
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon honey |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon finely grated orange rind (or lemon rind) |
1/4 cup kalamata olive, sliced (or black olives) |
1/4 cup brazil nut, chopped |
Directions:
1. Cook rice:.
2. Combine brown and wild rice, 2 cups water or broth, and 1 tbls. olive oil in a pot with tight fitting lid.
3. Bring to a boil, stirring once. Cover with lid. Reduce heat to simmer and cook 45-50 minutes.
4. Remove from heat, let stand in covered pot for 10 minutes.
5. Fluff with fork, and salt to taste.
6. To make Brazilian:.
7. In a separate bowl, mix together oil, chili powder, garlic powder, honey, salt and orange rind. Pour this mixture into the hot rice and mix lightly. Fold in olives and nuts.
