Really lovely flavor! I used just brown rice (as I don't really care the texture of wild rice), a fresh shallot, all chicken stock and 3 bay leaves. The aroma while cooking was wonderful, which I realized was the bay leaves. For some reason, I had never attributed much flavor or aroma to bay leaves, but I realize they are the key to many dishes, now. I will be making this often. Thanks for sharing.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I joined Recipezaar to learn new recipes that are home cooked. I grew up having ready-meals like Encor and Stouffers and needed recipes that don't simply require opening a box and plopping in the oven! I enjoy cooking when I have the time to try new dishes. I make every recipe as written if I'm reviewing it to give a true review. If I make alterations that aren't in the directions, I don't feel it's a true reflection of the recipe; it's another recipe to me.
