Almond Wild Rice

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

In a large saucepan, bring 3 cups of broth and 2 tablespoons of butter to a boil. Add wild rice. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 55 to 60 minutes or until the rice is tender. Drain if necessary.

Meanwhile, in another pan, bring 2 cups of broth and 2 tablespoons butter to a boil. Add brown rice. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes or until the rice is tender. Drain if necessary.

In a skillet, saute the almonds in 2 tablespoons butter until lightly browned.

In a serving bowl, combine the wild rice, brown rice, raisin mixture, almonds, parsley, salt, and pepper.
