Brown- and Wild-rice Pilaf

Brown- and Wild-Rice Pilaf

In a medium saucepan cook 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms and ¼ cup sliced green onions in 1 tablespoon hot butter until tender. Carefully add one 14 ½-ounce can chicken broth; bring to boiling. Stir in ½ cup uncooked brown rice, 1/3 cup uncooked, rinsed and drained wild rice, ¼ cup shredded carrot; ½ teaspoon dried basil, crushed; and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 40 minutes or till the rices are tender and most of the broth is absorbed. Stir in ½ cup frozen peas. Simmer for 3-5 minutes more or till heated through, stirring occasionally. Makes about 3 ½ cups (4 side-dish servings).
