3 cloves garlic, minced

1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup sherry or vegetable broth
4 cups mushrooms, thinly sliced

Combine water and salt in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Add wild rice and simmer, covered, for 35 minutes. Drain and rinse wild rice well under cold water; set aside. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook onion for 10 minutes, or until softened and translucent. Add 6 cups broth, garlic and brown rice. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Stir in pepper, sherry or broth, prepared wild rice, mushrooms and remaining broth. Simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes.


It’s fun to hang little unexpected surprises from the dining room chandelier. Start with a swag of greenery, then tuck in Christmas whimsies like glass balls, tiny snowmen, cookie cutters and smiling Santas.
