Brown and Wild Rice Medley image

Wild rice seems to add elegance to any dish or meal, but I find that many people prefer it to be mixed with brown rice to vary the taste. Little hands on time makes this a great addition to any meal.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 Cup Brown Rice
1/2 Cup Wild Rice
3 Cups Chicken Broth (Low sodium preferred)

2 Whole Green Onions (Sliced, green and white parts)
3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter

Steps:
