Brown and Wild Rice Medley

Cherie served this with the Jerk Shrimp recipe. They went extremely well together. So easy, even I helped make it.

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes

1 package (6.7 oz) mushroom-flavored brown and wild rice mix
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup cut fresh green beans (1/2-inch pieces) 1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
2 medium carrots, shredded
1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted

1. In a large saucepan, cook rice mix according to package directions, omitting butter.

2. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, saute onion and green beans in oil for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, carrots and pepper, saute 3-5 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. Add vegetables and almonds to cooked rice; stir until blended.

Yield: 8 servings
