In Alamosa, Colorado, Marjorie Carey puts together this easy rice mixture flavored with vegetable soup mix. Each batch makes a pretty side dish when you're in a hurry. Ingredients:
4 cups uncooked instant rice |
1 package (1.4 ounces) vegetable soup mix |
2 tablespoons dried minced onion |
2 tablespoons dried celery flakes |
2 tablespoons dried sweet red or green pepper |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
additional ingredients: |
2 cups water |
1 tablespoon butter |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 1 year. Yield: 4 batches (4 cups total).
2. To prepare rice: In a saucepan, combine water, butter and 1 cup rice mix. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Yield: 2-3 servings per batch.
