Easy Rice Pilaf

2 1/2 cups HOT water

1/4 cup butter

1/2 cup onion...minced

1 cup celery...chopped

1 cup UNCOOKED white rice

1 envelope Lipton brand DRY CHICKEN NOODLE soup mix

1/4 teaspoon sage

pepper to taste

1/4 teaspoon thyme

In a skillet, melt the butter. Saute onion and celery and rice until golden brown. RICE MUST BE GOLDEN BROWN! Stir in remaining dry ingredients. Quickly add hot water and cover skillet. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. This will make about 4-6 servings.

Thanks LilBit! I'm always looking for new ways to do rice. I don't think I've seen one with the soup mix before.

For the thyme and sage, is the recipe call for FRESH or DRIED? TIA. )
