Soak overnight, 2 cups brown rice in 4 cups of water.

The next day/evening bring rice to a boil and turn off as soon as it comes to a boil.  Stir and do not allow the rice to burn.
Add
16 ounces of mackerel (cut into small pieces) or 16 ounces tuna, or 16 oz of salmon, 16 ounces of another healthy fish (without bones and cut into small pieces).  Or 1 lb. of uncooked turkey sausage.
Add
3 cloves garlic (cut into small pieces)
1 large bell pepper (cut into small pieces)
2 large stalks of celery (cut into small pieces)
1/4 to 1/2 cup butter (not margarine)
16 ounces tomato sauce
3 cups water
1/2 teaspoon turmeric or cumin
1 tablespoon to 1/4 cup red pepper

Allow to simmer on medium low for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently.

My favorite is with the turkey sausage, turmeric and just one tablespoon of red pepper.  I also like to mix wild rice with brown rice about half and half.
