Ingredients
-
1 cup uncooked wild rice
-
4 cups water
-
1 cup uncooked brown rice
-
1 tablespoon instant chicken bouillon granules

8 cups sliced fresh mushrooms (such as stemmed shiitake, baby portobello, and/or button)
-
2 cups chopped celery
-
1 cup chopped onion
-
2 cups shredded carrots
Directions
1.
Rinse wild rice in a strainer under cold water about 1 minute. In a 4-quart Dutch oven, combine wild rice, the 4 cups water, the brown rice, bouillon granules, salt, and nutmeg. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
2.
Stir in mushrooms, celery, and onion. Return to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook about 25 minutes more or until rice is tender, stirring occasionally. Drain. Stir in carrots. Serve immediately. Makes 12 servings.
