Uncle Ben's Wild Rice, copycat

*This is delicious!  If you're a fan of Uncle Ben's Wild Rice, you will love this!

• 1 tsp dry chopped onion flakes
• 1⁄2 tsp dry parsley flakes
• 1⁄4 tsp garlic powder
• 1⁄4 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• 1⁄2 tsp ground cumin
• 1⁄4 tsp ground ginger
• 1⁄2 tsp black pepper
• 1⁄2 tsp salt
• 3 c. chicken stock (or 3 c. water plus 1 Tbsp Better Than Bouillon Chicken)
• 1 c. long grain brown rice
• 1⁄3 c. dry wild rice
• 1 Tbsp unsalted butter (optional)

Place all ingredients in a 2 quart saucepan and bring to a boil.  Cover and reduce heat to a simmer for about 50 minutes.

**If cooked on the stovetop, this rice must be simmered for 50 minutes to be tender!  Brown rice, long grain white rice, and wild rice take twice as long to cook as traditional white rice.  

**As an alternative, you can cook it in a pressure cooker that has a rice setting.  You may have to manually adjust the cook time to about 23 minutes.
