   • In a small bowl, place the dried porcini mushrooms and cover them with warm water.
   • Allow them to soak for about 10 minutes until softened.

2. Prepare the Wild Rice:

   • After soaking, drain and rinse the mushrooms, squeezing out any excess water.
   • Finely chop the mushrooms and set them aside.
   • In a saucepan, combine the wild rice with enough water to cover it well.
   • Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer, uncovered, for about 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the grains have opened.
   • Add more water as needed to keep the rice covered.
   • Once cooked, drain any excess water and keep the wild rice warm.

3. Saute the Vegetables:

   • In a large deep nonstick skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the chopped onion, fresh rosemary, rehydrated mushrooms, and sliced carrot to the skillet.
   • Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender and fragrant.

4. Cook the White Rice:

   • To the skillet, add the white rice, chicken broth, and season with pepper to taste.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for approximately 20 minutes, or until the white rice is tender.
   • If there is any excess liquid, drain it from the skillet.

5. Combine and Serve:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked wild rice, white rice, and freshly chopped parsley.
   • Mix well to incorporate all the flavors.
   • Serve the Herbed Mushroom Wild Rice hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
