1In a medium pot, combine wild rice, ¾ cup chicken broth and 1 tbsp. butter; bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 40 minutes.

2Place porcini in a small bowl, add enough water to cover and soak for 30 minutes. In a small skillet on medium heat, toast almonds; remove from the heat and set aside. Place basmati rice in a fine sieve over a bowl and rinse until water is no longer cloudy; let it drain. After 30 minutes, drop porcini in a fine sieve and let it drain.

4In another pot over medium heat, add butter. When melted, add onion and sauté for 2 minutes. Add porcini, making sure to leave dirt behind, and garlic; sauté for 1 minute. Pour in white wine and cook until almost evaporate; stir and remove from the heat.
