Whole Grain Rice Salad

This is a side I make often.  It is super easy, and stores well for future meals. 

1 Whole Grain Rice (I use Rice Selects, you can find them in the rice/pasta aisle at the grocery store)
1 Cup Chicken Stock
1.5 Cups Water
1 tbsp butter or margarine
(Place Rice Water, Stock and Margarine in a pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 45 minutes)

1 Shallot
1/2 cup Craisins or Golden Raisins
1 cup Peas ( I just boil some frozen peas)
2 tbsp basil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste

Chop shallot very fine and add all ingredients including the cooked rice in a large bowl, stir and serve!  You can serve this hot or cold it is delicious either way!
