Healthy Nut Rice

Melt butter or margarine in a large saucepan over medium heat, then add the uncooked rice and stir constantly until the rice becomes lightly golden and fragrant.

Pour 2 cups of water into the saucepan with the toasted rice and stir in the chicken bouillon granules until fully dissolved.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Remove from heat and let stand covered for 2-3 minutes to allow residual moisture to be absorbed.

Fluff the rice gently with a fork, breaking up any clumps.

Stir in the sunflower kernels, toasted slivered almonds, and parsley flakes until evenly distributed throughout the rice.

Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately while warm.
