Wild Rice

The boxed wild rice have a lot things that one shouldn't find in food, more in a cleaning agent. So, after repeated attempts to conjour up a recipe that tastes good enough and looks pleasing to eyes I finally perfected it. Here's my take on wild rice

Ingredients:-

1 Cup - Long Grain Rice
1/3 Cup - Wild Rice
2 Cups - Chicken/Vegetable Stock
2 Tbsp of Butter or EVOO
1Tsp -Dried Parsley
1 Tsp – Garlic Powder
1 Tsp – Onion Powder
1/3 Tsp – Sugar
1 Tbsp – Celery Diced
1 Tomato – Seeded & Diced
1 Carrot – Shredded (Optional)
Salt to Taste

Wash and soak the Rice for 15 minutes.
Combine all of the spices, stock & butter in a sauce pan
Drain the rice and add that in with the spices & stock.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil; stir several times until all the visible liquid is absorbed.
Turn down the heat, cover and cook for a total cooking time of 25 minutes. Gently fork the rice to avoid clumping and serve!!
