  1. I'm sorry, but I had a few problems with this recipe. The wild rice just never cooked up. I don't know if my baking dish was too big or if I just needed more liquid. The brown rice was fine and I used a combination of mushrooms (baby bella, crimini, white button, and shiitake). I wish this worked because the flavor is really great. We added water to some and microwaved it until the wild rice softened up a little and that was good. I would make this again, maybe cook the wild rice first or add more liquid. I used a 2 quart casserole (wasn't sure what size to use) and maybe that was just too big. Made for the Babes of ZWT4.
     
  2. sauteed onions with mushrooms..what can go wrong? This pilaf was simply delicious! Used 1 tsp sweet basil instead and the blend of flavors turned out well. Thanks for posting this, Beautiful BC!
