Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse the Wild Rice

    Thoroughly rinse 1 cup of wild rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice 1 medium onion, chop 2 cups of mushrooms, chop 1 stalk of celery, and dice 1 medium carrot. Mince 2 cloves of garlic and set all the vegetables aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare Herbs

    Chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley and set aside for garnish.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, chopped celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 5

    Add Mushrooms and Carrots

    Add the chopped mushrooms and diced carrot to the pot. Continue to sauté for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are browned.

  3. 6

    Combine Rice and Liquids

    Stir in the rinsed wild rice, 4 cups of vegetable broth, and 2 cups of water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of thyme, and 1 bay leaf. Bring to a boil.

  4. 7

    Simmer the Rice

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  5. 8

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat, discard the bay leaf, and stir in the chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.
