Long Grain Wild Rice Mix

Make your own long grain and wild rice side dish mix. If you can't find Spike, use Herb Mix.

1 cup long grain brown or white rice
1/2 cup wild rice
1 Tbsp. dried parsley flakes
2 tsp. Spike seasoning or Herb Mix
1 tsp. dried thyme leaves
1/2 tsp. tarragon leaves
1/8 tsp. white pepper
1/2 tsp. salt

Mix ingredients and store in an air-tight container in a cool, dry place. This makes one side dish. You can multiply ingredients to make more mixes.
