Wild Rice with Almonds and Raisins
A nice change is substituting dried cranberries for the raisins, to save time the wild rice can be cooked a day ahead and heated in the microwave before using in this dish
Servings 8
Ingredients:
5-1/2 cups chicken broth, divided
1 cup raisins
6 tablespoons butter, divided
1 cup uncooked wild rice (rinse the rice well under cold water before using)
1 cup uncooked brown rice
1 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup fresh minced parsley, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:———————————-
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat bring 1/2 cup chicken broth to a boil; remove from heat.
Add in the raisins and set aside (do not drain).
In a large saucepan bring 3 cups broth and 2 tablespoon butter to a boil over medium-high heat; add in wild rice; cover and reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour or until the rice is tender (drain any remaining broth)
Meanwhile in another saucepan combine the brown rice with 2 tablespoon butter and remaining 2 cups broth; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low cover and simmer for about 40 minutes or until rice is tender (drain any remaining broth).
In a skillet saute the almonds in remaining 2 tablespoons butter until lightly browned.
In a serving bowl combine the cooked wild rice, brown rice, raisins (with the stock if any) fresh parsley and salt; toss to coat.
Season with fresh ground black pepper to taste.
