Ingredients

  • 3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup uncooked wild rice
  • 1/4 cup medium pearl barley
  • 1/4 cup uncooked brown rice
  • 1/2 pound baby portobello mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 celery rib, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup half-and-half cream
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine broth and wild rice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in barley and brown rice; cover and simmer for 40-45 minutes or until grains are tender and the liquid is absorbed.
