I'm always looking for good side dishes, and this is a winner. I didn't have shallots, so I used onions, and it turned out delicious. Tasted even better the next day. Definitely will be making this again.
Wild Rice with Cremini Mushrooms
Elevate plain rice to something a little more special with the help of just a few ingredients. If you don't have a wild rice blend, or are short on time, substitute three cups of cooked instant rice. Serve with pork loin, beef tenderloin, duck, or chicken.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 3/4 cup)
