Cooking Directions:

Place 3 cups of water in a pot and bring to a boil.  Add the wild rice, cover allow to simmer and cook until tender.  Drain off excess water or add more water as you cook to get desired result.

1. When the rice is cooking, place the stock or broth into a fry pan, turn on medium heat and sauté the mushrooms, onion, celery, peppers, garlic, and water chestnuts.  Season with salt and pepper.  Cook for about 20 minutes.  
2. Lightly brush your fish filets with olive oil.  Sprinkle Redfish Magic (or blackened seasoning of your choice) on each side of filet.  Place in a cast iron skillet that you have pre-heated on medium high.  (Do not put oil in skillet).  Cook for 3-5 minutes per side. 
3. When rice is done add it to ingredients you are cooking in the sauté pan and cover.  Add cashews and basil.  Cover and cook on very low heat for another 5 minutes.

 Serving Directions:

Make a bed of wild rice on each serving plate, and place fish on top of the rice bed.
