Almond Wild Rice

By: Mark Trinklein 
"Made with both brown rice and wild rice, this popular pilaf has a hint of fruity sweetness, thanks to golden raisins. I prepare the casserole the morning of the party, then refrigerate it in an ovenproof dish to heat through later. -Mark Trinklein, Cedarburg, Wisconsin"

Ingredients

  • 5 1/2 cups chicken broth, divided
  • 1 cup golden raisins
  • 6 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided
  • 1 cup uncooked wild rice
  • 1 cup uncooked brown rice
  • 1 cup slivered almonds
  • 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup broth to a boil. Remove from the heat; add raisins and set aside (do not drain).
