1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Wild rice
4 Chicken bouillon cubes, crumbled
3 tablespoons Dried minced onion
½ cup Raisins
½ teaspoon Curry powder
4 cups water

Directions

I can't remember who wanted ideas for different mixes of beans etc. to put in jars but I found a great book with TONS of ideas. IT's called The Perfect Mix (90 Gift-Giving Ideas for Bread, Soup, Dessert, and Other Homemade Mixes) by Diane Phillips. (copyright 1993) It gives ideas on how to package gifts, which ones go together nicely and recipes for the mixes.

Heres one example:

Makes 1¾ cups

The perfect accompaniment for sauteed chicken or broiled cornish game hens.

Present this rice mix layered in a glass jar, and tie ribbons to the neck of the jar.

In a glass jar that holds 1 ¾ cups, pour the rice into the bottom. Layer the rest of the ingredients in the order given.

To prepare:

In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the Wild Rice Mix and reduce the heat. Cover and simmer about 50 minutes, adding more water if needed. (This also had 3 tablespoons butter which I omitted) This is just one of many ideas in this book! There are ideas on desserts too. Thanks to whoever brought up this idea!!
