1 can beef consomm
1 can water
1 1/2 stick butter
2 cups long grain regular rice
2/3 c. chopped carrots
2/3 c. blanched almonds
1 tsp. accent
1 tsp. parsley flakes

Hand chop carrots and celery, use scissors for green onion tops. Set oven to 325. Put casserole pan with heavy cover in oven to heat. A heavy casserole with a tight fitting cover works best. Meanwhile, in a sauce pan, melt butter and add rice. In another pan heat the consomm and water, just before it starts to boil, pour rice and butter into consomm. Take hot casserole out of oven and pour rice mixture into it. Return to oven and bake 35 minutes.

Serves 10 - 12.
