WILD RICE WITH MUSHROOMS AND PARSLEY
If you can't find wild rice, a wild-rice blend also works well -- just omit any seasoning packet in favor of the mushroom-parsley blend.

- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wide, heavy skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the carrots, onion or leek, and salt to taste.

BROWN AND WILD RICE PILAF
I created this a few years ago at Thanksgiving as substitute for stuffing for the vegetarians. The whole family has adopted it, as we do not cook a whole turkey anymore, just a turkey breast. I suppose it probably could be used to stuff a turkey. It is a bit of trouble to cook the two rices and the vegetable mixture in separate pans, but I find that the taste and texture turns out much better than when I've tried to cook them together.

Tips
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the pilaf will be. Look for brown and wild rice that is fresh and free of debris. Use a flavorful broth, such as chicken or vegetable broth. And don't skimp on the porcini mushrooms or parsley.
- Toast the rice before cooking. This will help to bring out the nutty flavor of the rice and give the pilaf a more complex flavor.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the rice from sticking.
- Don't overcook the rice. Brown and wild rice takes longer to cook than white rice, so be careful not to overcook it. The rice should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
- Let the pilaf rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the rice to absorb the broth.
Conclusion
Brown and wild rice pilaf with porcini and parsley is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. With its nutty flavor and complex aroma, this pilaf is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
