Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup wild-rice, rinsed in a sieve
1 1/2 ounces dried porcini (available at specialty foods shops and some supermarkets)
1 cup hot water
1 3/4 cups cold water
1 cup long-grain brown rice (not converted)
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped onion
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • To a small saucepan of boiling water add the wild rice, remove the pan from the heat, and let the rice soak for 30 minutes. In a small bowl combine the, porcini and the hot water and let the mushrooms soak for 30 minutes. Strain the mixture through a rinsed and squeezed paper towel set over a measuring cup, reserving 3/4 cup of the soaking liquid, wash the porcini under cold water to remove any grit, and chop them. In a large saucepan bring the cold water and the porcini soaking liquid to a boil, stir in the wild rice, drained well, the brown rice, and the salt,and simmer the mixture, covered for about 40 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. While the rice is cooking, in a large skillet cook the onion in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is softened and stir in the porcini. Add the rice to the skillet with the parsley and salt and pepper to taste and combine the mixture well.

The rice was a bit too al dente for my liking. I think I would have cooked it for a few minutes longer.

This pilaf was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more spices or herbs.

I love this pilaf! It's so flavorful and versatile. I've made it with different types of mushrooms and vegetables, and it's always delicious. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice.

This pilaf was easy to make and very tasty. I used a mix of brown and white rice, and added some chopped carrots and celery to the vegetables. It was a great side dish for roasted chicken.

This pilaf was a hit with my family! The combination of brown and wild rice gave it a nutty flavor, and the porcini mushrooms added a rich, earthy taste. The parsley added a nice freshness. I will definitely be making this again.
