Company Dinner "Rice"

I wasn't sure what my guests would think of this "rice" dish, but everyone raved over it!  I even had 2 people ask for the recipe.  Definately a keeper!

Company Dinner Rice
3 C. cauliflower rice (cooked cauliflower shredded like cheese in blender or food processor)
 1/4 c. wild rice
 3/4 c. water
Put the wild rice and water in a saucepan, cover, and set it over the lowest heat until all the water is gone - at least half and hour, maybe more.  Toss together with the cooked cauliflower rice.
**You can make this portion of the dish the day before.

1 small onion, chopped
1 stick butter, melted  (Next time I may try it with 1/2 a stick of butter.)
6 strips bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
 1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese

Saute the onion in the butter until it's golden and limp.  Toss the onion, bacon, salt, pepper and cheese with the cauliflower/wild rice mixture.  Serve.

Serves 8
