1 c. uncooked rice
1 stick butter
2 cans beef or chicken consomme
3 tbsp. parsley (dry)
3/4 c. celery, finely chopped
3/4 c. onions, finely chopped
3/4 c. shredded carrots
1 sm. pkg. slivered almonds

Brown rice in melted butter over medium heat. Add consomme and cook slowly, about 30 minutes, covered until done. Add vegetables and almonds. Place all into a 2 quart casserole. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

If you want to do a day ahead, keep cooked rice separate from vegetables and almonds until ready to bake, then add all together. Bake for 45 minutes, covered.
