This is a huge recipe, and it turns out really good hot or cold.

In a 4-5 qt pan, pour 3 quarts water and an appropriate measure of broth mix (this varies between cubes, powder, or bulk. Use whatever will season 3 qts.) Mix until dissolved, and add 1 cup wild rice and 2 cups brown rice. (At this point, check the cooking directions on both. Some cook for an hour, some for 45 minutes. Varies by brand. If one says an hour and the other 45 minutes, you may want to add the longer-cooking one first, then the other 15 minutes later.) About 10-15 minutes from the end of cooking time, add either frozen mixed veggies, or fresh diced veggies, whichever you prefer, and stir into the rice. Let cook for the rest of the time for the rice, then remove from heat and allow to set for 10-15 minutes. This allows any excess water to soak into the rice withtout scorching. Rice Pilaf made this way is great for a picnic or pitch-in dinner, and it goes well with chicken or pork. It is just as good cold as it is hot, and it keeps well kept in single-serving containers in the freezer, if you are single or wanting it for lunch at work.
