Wild Rice Pilaf

I'm sorry if you don't have access to the rice.  Its a blend that I found at our local Winco store in the bulk section.  It had wild rice, forbidden rice, some sort of reddish rice, white rice and wheat berries in it.  It was called Bistro Rice blend.

2 cups Bistro Rice Blend
2 cans reduced sodium chicken broth (could use veggie broth if desired)
1 cup water
1/2 c chopped celery
1/2 c shredded carrots
1 t basil
1 T dried onions
pepper to taste

Boil together for 40 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed.  This would also be very good if you stirred in some slivered almonds right before serving.

Makes 6 side dish servings.

My family loved the "nuttiness" of this rice.  They are not big brown rice fans but they loved this blend of rices.
