Cover, simmer 50 minutes longer. 5 minutes before rice is finished, saute scallion until softened. Combi ne with rice and Wheat mixture, along with spices. Note: the original recipe called for 2 tbs. pignoli (pine nuts), tosted in 1 tbs butter, before adding the scallions. I simply eliminated them. I"ll run both combinations through my recipe program, and re-post if it can be done The original recipe"s "health tip" suggested omitting salt, substituting unsalted margarine, and/or eliminating the nuts
