Vegetable Wild Rice
Ingredients:
3/4 c wild rice
3/4 c parboiled rice
2 cup chopped broccoli
2 tablespoon olive oil
4-5 whole eggs
2 tablespoon of fresh rosemary
Salt & pepper to taste

Directions :
In a large sauce pan, boil 2 cups of water.  Add wild rice.  In a separate sauce pan, boil 2 cups of water.  Add parboiled rice.  Cook until slightly done. Rice should be light and fluffy.  Not watery. The wild rice will take longer than the parboiled rice, so cook separately.  Place cooked wild rice and parboiled in a large bowl and set aside. 

In a skillet, add 1 tbsp oil and lightly saute broccoli and rosemary until wilted.  Add broccoli and rosemary to rice mixture.  Lightly mix broccoli, rosemary, rice, salt and pepper in the bowl and set aside.  In the same skillet, add remaining oil and heat.  In small bowl, mix eggs and pour in heated skillet.  Scramble eggs until done.

Fold in rice, broccoli, rosemary mixture in the skillet with the scrambled eggs.  Mix well.

Makes about 6 - 8 servings
