 Wild Rice with Snow Peas

 

A great, easy recipe, and so much better than a boxed rice...
 

1 cup 

 

wild rice

 

2 chopped 

 

green onions

 

1 Tbs 

 

butter

 

1 tsp 

 

salt

 

2 cups 

 

chicken broth (or more)

 

6 oz. package 

 

frozen snow peas, thawed and drained (or use fresh)

 

1 can
1 cup 

 

sliced water chestnuts, chopped
fresh sliced mushrooms

 

2 Tbs 

 

vegetable oil

 

½ tsp 

 

salt

 

¼ tsp 

 

fresh ground pepper

 

 

1

Rinse rice well and drain.

2

Cut the green onion stems into 2" lengths. Finely chop the white part of the green onions.

3

Melt butter in large saucepan. Add white onion and sauté. Add rice, 1 t. salt and 2 cups chicken broth. Bring to a boil, stir and reduce heat. Cover and cook over low heat until rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed (about 35 minutes). If necessary, add more broth as rice cooks.

4
