SEASONING MIX

OTHER INGREDIENTS

Combine the seasoning mix ingredients thoroughly in a small bowl.

Makes 3 Tbl plus ¾ tsp. Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat until very hot, about 4 minutes. Add the rice, spaghetti, onions, celery, butter, and 2 Tbl of the seasoning mix. Stir well and cook, shaking the pan and stirring occasionally, until the rice and spaghetti are golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add the sesame seeds and the remaining seasoning mix. Stir well and cook 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice and spaghetti are brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley and chicken stock, cover the skillet, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the skillet sit, covered, 8 minutes. This is a great dinner side dish to accompany almost any kind of meat, poultry, or fish. Or serve for lunch with a salad.
