I live on a lake where the Native Americans used to harvest the rice. This recipe is excellent as a side dish during the holidays and makes a wonderful stuffing for turkey, chicken or cornish game hens. Also good with wild game.

Categories     Brown Rice

Time 31m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb wild rice, cooked according to packaging
1 cup cooked white rice (cooked separately from wild rice)
1 lb bacon
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1/2 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced thin
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 medium carrot, peeled and diced small
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon concentrate or 2 -3 chicken bouillon cubes
1/4 cup butter, melted (optional)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • (Properly cooked wild rice should be split and soft.).
  • Fry all the bacon until very crisp. Drain and save some of the fat. Crumble the bacon into little pieces.
  • In some of the reserved bacon fat sauté the vegetables until soft.
  • To the sauteed vegetables, add the chicken bouillon and mix. Then add all the other ingredients. Combine and mix.
  • If the mixture seems dry, add the melted butter.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste (remember, the bacon is salty).
  • Place mixture into a glass casserole dish. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until warmed through.
