Recipe - Wild Rice With Grapes And Toasted Almonds

3 cup Vegetable stock
1 cup Wild rice; rinsed and
drained
1 teaspoon Minced garlic
1 tablespoon Fresh oregano; minced
2 teaspoon Fresh thyme; minced
1 Bay leaf
One fourth cup Sliced almonds; blanched
One half cup Seedless grapes; halved
2 md Scallions; thinly cut or sliced up
1 tablespoon Feta cheese; crumbled
Salt and pepper; to taste

In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable stock to a boil. Add the wild
rice, garlic, oregano, thyme and bay leaf and return to a boil over
moderate heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the wild rice
is tender, about 40 minutes. Drain any excess liquid, return the wild rice
to the pan and discard the bay leaf. Cover and let stand 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small, heavy skillet, toast the almonds over moderate heat,
stirring constantly, until golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate to
cool.

Transfer the wild rice to a bowl and stir in the grapes, scallions and
feta. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the almonds and serve.
