Water Chestnut Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 cup orange rind, finely chopped
    1/2 cup dried apricot, finely chopped
    1/4 cup dry white wine
    5 cups water
    2 chicken bouillon cubes
    1 cup brown rice
    1 cup white rice
    1/2 teaspoon turmeric
    140 g water chestnuts, drained
    1/4 cup parsley, chopped
    6 spring onions, chopped
Preparation
    Soak orange peel and apricots in wine.
    Bring 5 cups of water to the boil. I find the water to rice ratio is usually 3:1 for brown and 2:1 for white. Your brand may be different so follow the guidelines for water quantity for boiling the brand you are using.
    Add bouillon cubes to the boil and add brown rice only.
    Boil brown rice for 20 minutes and then add white rice.
    Reduce heat and cook for another 20 minutes or until rice is tender.
    Drain rice and combine with all other ingredients.
