Low Fat Wild Basmati Pilaf

1/4 cup wild rice
1 can (15 oz. size) vegetable broth
3/4 cup brown basmati rice
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups thinly sliced mushrooms
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup finely chopped parsley

Recipe Directions:

Rinse wild rice and place it in a saucepan with the vegetable broth and 1/2 cup water. Stir to mix, then cover & simmer for 20 mins.

At the end of this time, add the basmati rice. Cover and continue cooking until both varieties of rice are tender, about 50 mins.

Heat 1/2 cup water in a large pot or skillet. Add onion & garlic & cook until all the water has evaporated and browned bits of onion begin to stick to the pan. Add another 1/4 cup water, scrape the pan, and cook until the onions begin to stick again. Repeat this process of adding water and cooking the onions until they are nicely browned. This will take about 15 mins.

Stir in the mushrooms, celery, & seasonings. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 mins, then add the cooked rice and finely chopped parsley. Cook over low heat, turning gently, until the mixture is very hot.
