1 pkg (14 g) dried mushrooms (such as porcini, morelle or chanterelle)
2 tbsp (25 mL) vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic
1 leek (white and light green parts only), finely chopped
1 cup (250 mL) diced carrots
1 tsp (5 mL) dried thyme
1-1/3 cups (325 mL) brown basmati rice
2/3 cup (150 mL) wild rice
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper
1-1/2 cups (375 mL) each sodium-reduced chicken stock and water
1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped fresh parsley

In skillet, heat oil over medium heat; fry garlic, leek, carrots, thyme and mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until leeks are softened, about 5 minutes.
