Perfect to have around for quick dinners! Put it together about a week ago and used it for the first time tonight. (just used half of it.) Served it with your Halibut/fresh tomato sauce and Asparagus/almonds, perfect match, went exceptionally well to finish off the dinner! Nice combination of herbs and onion. Had a Dancer^ dinner night and we really enjoyed it. (finished off dinner with thawed frozen raspberries over vanilla icecream) Thanks for sharing a very usefull recipe.

I used 2 cups vegetable broth in place of the bouillon cubes and water. Other than that, made as listed. This makes a quick and flavorful rice. Thanks for a simple side dish to accompany our meal!

Delicious. This is very easy to make: I just put a cup of long grain, brown rice (not instant) into a medium-sized pot with 2 1/2 cups of water, the bouillon cubes (I use chicken), no salt (there's enough in the bouillon for us), shake in some thyme (powder, not flakes/leaves), and the onion flakes (we leave off the marjoram), bring it to a boil and then turn the heat to low and cover for about 45 minutes to an hour (on gas stove). This rice goes with everything--chicken, beef liver, tuna casserole, whatever!

OUTSTANDING! Did not have any marjoram on hand - used basil instead. Next time, will probably leave the 1/2 tsp salt out because of the bouillon. Delicious!!!

Good rice. Nice to keep a lot on hand and scoop some out as needed. Great side dish for fish. Thanx for sharing this recipe. I'll keep this mix on hand.
