1 tablespoon parsley flakes
1 tablespoon margarine
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
few dashes of garlic powder
dash of celery salt
pepper to taste
1 cup long grain rice, rinsed
1 cup (1/2 can) Spam or ham, chopped
Method: Mix together the first ten ingredients, then bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for a few minutes. Return to a boil and add rice. Stir, then cover and reduce heat to simmer for about twenty minutes. Add the chopped meat and toss lightly. This goes well with chicken. If it is to be served with Teriyaki, use beef or chicken bouillon depending on the meat used and add soy sauce to the rice before cooking. Makes four to five cups.
