SUPER NATURAL RICE

Heat butter or margarine in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add uncooked rice and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes to lightly toast the grains.

Pour water into the saucepan and add chicken bouillon granules, stirring until the bouillon dissolves completely.

Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and cover tightly with a lid.

Simmer covered for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Remove from heat and let stand covered for 2-3 minutes to allow the rice to finish steaming.

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

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

Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm.
