Wild Rice with Two-Mushroom Sauté and Toasted Hazelnuts

[quicklook-recipe prep_time=”20 min” cook_time=”55 min” serves=”6″ details=”” ]

For ease in preparation, look for peeled and toasted hazelnuts. Hazelnuts contain good heart-healthy fats and more vitamin E than other nuts, while wild rice is higher in protein than other rice and contains niacin and B vitamins.
