NOTE: this is another of the "Surviving Survival Food" posts, if you won't eat it, it won't keep you alive, so I tried to find tasty recipes for shelf stable products.
Serves 8, (use a big pan)
2 cups brown rice, I used Costco Diamond G which turns to mush pretty easily so unless that's the way you like your rice watch your cooking time.
6 cups water total, 4 cups water for the rice, 1 cup for the vegetables, 1 cup for the mushrooms, (keep 1 cup of the water in reserve)
1 cup dried vegetable soup vegetables, (carrot, celery, bell pepper, onion, parsley), I go mine from the WinCo bulk aisle.
2.5 cupsCostco loose dried "Gourmet mix" mushrooms, put in blender, turn to powder, should be about 1/2 cup.
Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste
Boil water + salt, add rice and vegetables after boiling. The brand of brown rice I used is ready 30 minutes from adding to boiling water.
2- minutes in add the mushrooms, this is where that reserved cup of water comes in, they soak up the water so you may need to add more.
I finished it off by placing everything in a glass baking pan, mixed up a bit of white cheese powder, spread it on top and sprinkled some pine nuts on top, (not sure where I would find pine nuts in a survival situation).
