Lightly grease or spray an oven casserole dish and preheat the oven to 350° F. Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a medium sauce pan. Add the wild rice, stir, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for approx. 35 min. Or until just tender. Drain if necessary and transfer to a large bowl. And bring 2 cups water to a boil in another saucepan. Add the brown rice, stir, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. The water should be totally absorbed and the rice just tender. Add to the bowl with the wild rice. Add the remaining ingredients, except the Parmesan cheese, to the rice mixture, and toss to combine. Transfer the rice mixture to the prepared casserole, cover tightly and bake until soft and heated through--20-30 minutes. If serving with a dairy meal, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (optional).
