Wild Rice Stuffing

Ingredients

• 1/4  cup wild rice
• 1 3/4  cups water
• 1/4  cup regular brown rice
• 1  teaspoon instant chicken bouillon granules
• 1/8  to 1/4 teaspoon ground sage or nutmeg
• 2  cups sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1/2  cup sliced celery
• 3  green onions, sliced
• 1/4  cup sliced almonds or pine nuts, toasted (optional)

Directions

Rinse uncooked wild rice in a strainer under cold water about 1 minute. In a medium saucepan combine wild rice, the 1 3/4 cups water, uncooked brown rice, bouillon granules, and sage or nutmeg. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Add mushrooms, celery, and green onions. Cook, covered, over medium-low heat for 25 minutes more or until vegetables are just tender, stirring frequently. If desired, stir in almonds or pine nuts. Use to stuff a 3 1/2- to 4-pound broiler-fryer chicken or serve immediately.
