Cooking tips: Accurate heat level and cooking with lid on are important for best results. Do not microwave!

High altitude preparation: At high altitudes, cook uncovered, increase water to 2-1/4 cups and cook time to 35 to 40 minutes. Range top directions: 1. In a 2-quart saucepan, bring 1-3/4 cups water, 2 teaspoons olive oil or butter and grains just to a boil. 2. Reduce heat to low. 3. Cover; simmer 25 to 30 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. 4. Remove from heat. Stir in contents of spice sack. 5. Cover; let stand 3 to 5 minutes. Stir before serving. Makes 2-1/2 cups.
