Instructions: Prep/cook time: 30 minutes.

In a large saucepan, stir together stock, 1 cup water, mandarin orange juice, and Basmati and wild rices. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until rices are tender and liquid has evaporated, 25-30 minutes. The wild rice wont be as tender as the Basmati.

Meanwhile, warm a large skillet over medium heat and add celery, mushrooms, cumin, paprika, remaining 1/4 cup of water, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir together so paprika is evenly distributed; reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 5-7 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.

Combine the vegetables with the rice, green onions, and parsley, and serve.

Fresh orange juice may be substitute for the Mandarin orange juice.
