Pilaf Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Wild Rice

Rinse the wild rice under cold water and drain. In a medium saucepan, combine the wild rice and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45-50 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

2

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Stir in the minced garlic and thyme, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

3

Combine and Finish

Once the wild rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in the dried cranberries and sliced almonds. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

Serve

Serve warm as a side dish with grilled salmon or your choice of protein.
