CAMARGUE RED RICE BLEND

Camargue Red Rice Blend image

I bought a package of Camargue Red Rice Blend (Riz Rouge). It contained 60% long grain parboiled brown rice; 20% California wild rice; and 20% Camargue red rice. Never had this blend before and here is the recipe I came up with.....hope you enjoy! I am quite sure you could use all red rice if you wish.** This is a very good time to use recipe#166346.....it is something that I always have in my freezer. BTW, I posted this as servings for a main course, for a side dish, it will make much more.....but don't cut the recipe because this is very good cold the next day!
