During the day, re-hydrated meat and vegetables. In a 3 quart pot, combine 4 cups of water with 4 tablespoons of oil and bring to boil. Stir in Long Grain & Wild Rice and seasoning packet, bring to boil, cover and reduce heat until all water is absorbed, about 5-6 minutes. In a separate pot, bring to boil re-hydrated meat, and vegetables with just enough water to cover. Boil until meat is cooked through. Add sausage and vegetables to rice. Fluff and serve. Makes three 2 cup servings.
