Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 cup wild rice; 2 ½ cups vegetable or chicken broth; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 small onion, finely chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 1 teaspoon dried rosemary; ½ teaspoon salt; ¼ teaspoon black pepper; 1 cup sliced mushrooms; ½ cup chopped pecans; ½ cup dried cranberries; 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Rinse the wild rice under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and rosemary to the saucepan. Stir and cook for an additional minute until the herbs become fragrant.
Stir in the rinsed wild rice, vegetable or chicken broth, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
In a separate pan, heat a little oil over medium heat and sauté the sliced mushrooms until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 5-6 minutes.
Once the wild rice is fully cooked, fluff it with a fork and add the sautéed mushrooms, chopped pecans, dried cranberries, and fresh parsley. Gently stir the ingredients together to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt and pepper to suit your preference.
Serve the wild rice hot as a main dish or as a side to complement your favorite protein. Garnish with extra parsley for a touch of freshness.
