Sunset
1 cup uncooked brown rice
6 slices bacon
¼ cup slivered almonds
½ cup sliced green onions
¾ cup thinly sliced celery
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 to 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Cook rice in boiling water according to package directions. Meanwhile, fry bacon until crisp; drain, reserving drippings; crumble and set aside. To 2 tablespoons drippings in the frying pan, add nuts, 6 tablespoons onions, celery and mushrooms; cook, stirring often, until almonds are toasted, about 5 minutes. Set aside. To pan add 2 more tablespoons drippings, stir in cooked rice until lightly toasted; add more drippings or butter if necessary to keep rice from sticking. Return vegetables to pan. Stir in soy sauce; heat through. Top with bacon and remaining onions to serve. Serves 4-6.
