Homemade Rice-a-Roni

In large pot combine:
1 tbsp red palm oil (or butter, if you haven't got this)

Add: 1 1/2 cup brown rice. Brown.

Add 6 cups chicken broth. Bring to a boil and then simmer, covered, for 25 minutes.

When the 25 minutes is almost up...

In a small pan, melt another tbsp of butter, or use red palm oil, and brown 1 1/2 cup fideo pasta. Add into the rice that is simmering and stir well, just this once! Put the lid back on and simmer another 25-30 minutes, until the rice is tender and all the broth is absorbed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
