Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Soak orange peel and apricots in wine.

2. 2

   Bring 5 cups of water to the boil. I find the water to rice ratio is usually 3:1 for brown and 2:1 for white. Your brand may be different so follow the guidelines for water quantity for boiling the brand you are using.

3. 3

   Add bouillon cubes to the boil and add brown rice only.

4. 4

   Boil brown rice for 20 minutes and then add white rice.

5. 5

   Reduce heat and cook for another 20 minutes or until rice is tender.

6. 6

   Drain rice and combine with all other ingredients.
