Wow this has to be the greatest rice recipe out there. I used S&W's long grain & wild rice instead of brown rice so the cooking directions were a little different. I boiled some broccoli while I sauteed the onion & red bell pepper, then added just one or two cups of water (whatever the back of the rice bag said) and added 1 teaspoon of Superior Touch Vegetarian No Chicken Base for each 8oz water that i added, since I didn't have McKay's. I did not add salt. My rice had to be brought to a boil and simmered for 25 minutes, and I added the broccoli right after it boiled, along w/ the parsley (mine was dried parsley 1or 2 tbsps). Then cream cheese and almonds when it was done. I don't think I can ever make regular rice ever again. This was fantastic! Thank you so much.
