  • 1/4 cup margarine
  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked long grain white rice
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped carrot
  • 1 cup golden raisins
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup uncooked wild rice
  • 2 cups frozen green peas
  • 1 (4 ounce) jar diced pimento peppers, drained
  • 1 cup cashews
  • 1 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS

  1. Melt margarine in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the long grain rice, onion, carrot and raisins for 3 to 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover pan and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.
