Brown and Wild Rice Blend

One thing that drives me nuts is the Rice Blends from the store.  Most of them have tons of added salt and preservatives.  So I started making my own.  I make this once a week and use it throughout the week.  I love the nutty flavor of this rice.  Here's my recipe for your rice steamer.

Brown and Wild Rice

Serves 8-10

1/2 Cup of Wild Rice

2 Cups of Brown Rice

6.5-7 Cups of Liquid (water, broth, or a combo of both)

Place your rice in a strainer and rinse it off with water. Place in your steamer.  Add liquid.

Place steamer on brown rice setting.  Should take around 2-3 hours to cook depending on your steamer.  

If you find the wild rice isn't cooked to your liking, soak it in warm water for 1-2 hours before you cook it.
