Gourmet Rice Dressing

1 cup each of chopped onions,celery and celery leaves
1 cup uncooked rice
2 cups boiling chicken broth
3/4 tsp.poultry seasoning
1 can [4 oz] sliced mushrooms, drained
3 Tbsp.margarine
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Saute onions, celery, celery leaves, mushrooms, and rice in margarine
until vegetables are tender and rice is golden.  Turn into a buttered
shallow 2 qt.  casserole.  Stir in chicken broth and seasoning.  Cover
and bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 min.  or until rice is tender and
liquid is absorbed.  Fluff with fork:spoon into serving dish and
sprinkle with almonds.

I use crushed cereal in stead of the graham crackers for cheese cake
crust.  I usually use Barbara's Brown Rice Cereal, from the Health food
store.  These also work well in meat loaf instead of bread crumbs.

        Happy Thanksgiving to you
