Dressed Up Wild Rice

SERVES: 4

COOK TIME: 20 Min

We "dressed up" this rice recipe to make it taste and look fancy-shmancy. Our Dressed Up Wild Rice recipe is great to make when you've got company coming over, but it's easy enough to make anytime, too!

What You'll Need

1 tablespoon butter
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
3 scallions, sliced
1 (6.2-ounce) package quick long-grain and wild rice mix (including seasoning packet), uncooked
1 2/3 cup water
1/3 cup sherry (see Note)

What to Do

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add mushrooms and scallions and cook until tender, stirring constantly.
Stir rice mix with seasoning packet, water, and sherry into mushroom mixture; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Stir gently with a fork before serving.

Mr. Food Test Kitchen Tip!

For this dish, a simple package of long-grain and wild rice is dressed up with sauteed vegetables and a bit of sherry. Cook with sherry like you would wine-using only ones that you would drink.
