This recipe was very simple to make but, I didn't think it had much flavor. I was trying to think of something I could add next time to give it a little more flavor, but haven't come up with anything as of yet. The only thing I changed was to use carrots instead of celery and I chose not to add the almonds. If I come up with something to add to it and try it again I will rate it again if it adds to the flavor of the dish!!

I thought that this recipe would be one that I would just love, but for some reason it just didn't work for me. I really wanted to like it, but it just didn't appeal to our taste. I stuck with the recipe except for the almonds. DH doesn't care for almonds, so I left that part out.

I had some roast chicken to use up and this recipe was a great way to go! My only change was to use fresh mushrooms (I hate the texture of tinned) and to add the almonds at the end. Loved the flavour - had a 'stuffing' like taste from the sauteed onions and celery. The wild rice was still pleasantly chewy. I toasted the almonds and added them at the last minue to keep them crunchy.
