Recipe Variations
INVENTIVE VARIATION
Wild rice and mushrooms are natural accompaniments to any fowl. Substitute pheasant, quail, or duck, if there is a hunter in the house who’s stocked your freezer. Add 8 oz. of fresh mushrooms (with or without the chicken) and add the cream for a Minnesota-style wild rice soup.
