HOMEMADE RICE BLENDS

These pantry-ready rice mixes are made with simple, clean ingredients.
I use Rawlston’s Basmati Rice, but any long-grain white rice works well.
Toast the blend in butter, add water or stock, and you have a flavorful side dish in minutes.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS (FOR ALL BLENDS)

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
    Add the entire dry rice blend and toast for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, until the rice is fragrant.
    Stir in 2 cups water or stock, making sure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.
    Cook for 18 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed.
    Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes.
    Fluff with a fork and serve warm.

Notes

  • 1. Pepper Blend

    I always use my own mixed pepper blend in these recipes.
    If you don’t have a pre-mixed pepper blend, freshly cracked black pepper works well.

    2. Pantry Prep

    These rice blends are ideal for batch prep.
    Measure several jars at once and keep them in the pantry for quick, flavorful side dishes throughout the week.
    Each jar holds the dry mix for one full batch of rice.
