ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup wild rice
- 1⁄4 cup medium grain white rice
- 1⁄4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
- 2 green onions, trimmed and sliced thin
- 6 brown button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup smoked gruyere, grated
- 1⁄2 teaspoon thyme, dried
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
- 1 1⁄2 cups hot water
- 1⁄2 cup milk
directions
- Rinse both wild and white rice, separately, until water runs clear.
- In a large saucepan bring chicken broth and 1/2 cup of hot water to a boil.
- Add Wild Rice and salt.
- Return to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Add white rice and toasted almonds, simmer for an additional 15 minutes.
- Keep your eye on the pot, as you will need to add water, about 1/2 a cup at a time as needed to keep the rice from sticking and drying out.
- Stir in the mushrooms, green onions and thyme.
- Cook for 15 minutes more.
- Check to see if you need more water.
- At this point it's up to you. If you want your wild rice to be a bit more tender add another 1/2 cup water and simmer another 15 minutes (I did).
- Add milk and cheese stirring well until cheese is melted.
- Serve.
