Wednesday's Chow - Almond Wild Rice

I made this the other night to go with blackened red snapper.  It was really good!  It would go well with any baked meat: pork chops, chicken, fish.  The whole family liked it. It's a little time consuming because you have to cook the rice in separate pans, but I did cook them at the same time.  The almonds add a nice, crunchy taste.  I didn't have slivered, so I used sliced. They worked just as well.

Almond Wild Rice

½ cup slivered almonds

Oooh, Anna Kathryn! This sounds wonderful. I am becoming addicted to your recipes. My granddaughters especially loved the corn potato chowder as well as the idea that it was a "vintage recipe" that our "foremothers" (our own word) might have enjoyed.
Keep 'em coming.

Hi, Mary, Susan and June. Thanks for stopping by. June, I love the cookbook that recipe came from. I'll need to dig out the book and do another recipe. I think the Yankee Pot Roast recipe came from that book, too.
