This is great. You can use chicken bouillon granules for shicken
flavored. Re the leaf celery ‹ you'll have to work that out with Jorge.

Mom's Nicer-Roni

Recipe By: Barb Schaller

Serving Size: 4

I made kits for Chris and Jamie for Christmas 2004. They loved it.
It's good and not nearly as salty as Rice-A-Roni. I powder the dried
onions because SIL is peculiar.

2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried onions, ground in a mortar and pestle
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon celery leaves, (from George Shirley)
1/4 cup vermicelli, broken into small pieces
3/4 cup long grain white rice

Combine the first group of ingredients and set aside.

In a large skillet, melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter and add the rice and
vermicelli. Stir over medium-high heat until vermicelli browns.
Sprinkle over the dry mixture and add 2 cups hot water (it will steam
and sputter, so be careful). Cover and cook over low heat for about
12-15 minutes until rice is tender.
