Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 cup wild rice -- rinsed

1/2 cup brown lentils -- rinsed

1 15 oz can Swanson's Vegetable Broth

1 onion -- chopped

1/2 pound mushrooms -- thinly sliced

1 pound asparagus

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

 

Combine the wild rice and 4 cups of water in a large pan and bring to a simmer.

Cover and cook for 30 minutes. Add the lentils and continue to simmer until

both the rice and lentils are tender, about 25 minutes longer. Drain, then set

aside.

 

Heat 1/2 cup of the vegetable broth in a large nonstick frying pan, then add the

onion and mushrooms. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the

liquid has evaporated and the onion begins to stick to the pan. Add another 1/4

cup of the broth, stirring to loosen any vegetable bits, and continue cooking

until the mixture begins to stick again. Repeat this process of adding liquid

and cooking until it evaporates and the vegetables are well browned.

 

Snap the tough ends off the asparagus and discard, then cut the stalks on the

diaginal into 1-inch lengths. Add to the browned onion-mushroom mixture with

1/4 cup of the vegetable broth and cook, stirring often, until the asparagus is

just tender, about 2 minutes.

 

Add the lentil-riice mixture to the vegetables along with the balsamic vinegar.

Stir gently to mix, then trnasfer to a serving bowl or platter.
