Uncle Phil’s long grain and wild rice

(Inspired by Uncle Ben’s, but more to my taste, using ingredients we tend to have on hand.)

⅛ cup wild rice
½ cup water

Bring water to a boil, add wild rice, cover, reduce heat to simmer.

Cook on low heat for 50 minutes. Set aside, along with any remaining liquid.

1 cup water
1 T butter
1½ tsp Better than Bouillon (or any bouillon you use)
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp dried minced onion
1 tsp minced garlic
½ tsp basil
½ tsp sage
½ stalk finely chopped celery
⅛ tsp turmeric
⅛ tsp paprika

½ cup long grain white rice

Combine water, butter, bouillon, and spices in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Add white rice, stir in wild rice (along with any remaining liquid), cover, reduce to a simmer.

Simmer until the white rice has absorbed the liquid, about 20 minutes.

Turmeric and paprika are for color, and this amount seems just right.
