Almond Wild Rice image

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, Racine, Wisconsin

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt or omitting it altogether.

The sauce was a bit too thin for my liking. I would recommend thickening it with a cornstarch slurry.

This was a great recipe! I used brown rice instead of wild rice and it turned out just as good. The almonds added a nice crunch and the sauce was flavorful and creamy.
