Mediterranean Spice and Herbs Rice Mix Packets

Mediterranean Spice and Herbs Rice Mix

2 cups par-boiled rice (I used brown minute rice)

1/4 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp basil

½ tsp parsley

½ tsp thyme

¼ tsp ground allspice

½ tsp ground pepper

1/8 to ¼ tsp chili powder

1/8 to ¼ tsp cumin

optional:

1/2 to 1 tsp salt (use less if using broth instead of water)

Mix all ingredients in a ziplock bag.  Add salt or wait to season to taste after cooking.  Write the following directions on the bag: Bring 2 cups water or broth to boil.  Stir in rice mix and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.  Pull off heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.  Add salt to taste if not included in mix.
