Ingredients

The ingredients you will need for this recipe are:
  • 1 cup of wild rice
  • 2 cups of vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 cup of sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup of diced celery
  • 1/2 cup of diced onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme

Equipment

To make this recipe, you will need a large pot with a lid, a sharp knife, a cutting board, and a sauté pan.

Method

  1. Rinse the wild rice in a fine-mesh strainer and set aside.
  2. In a large pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the wild rice and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.

  5. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you prefer a more savory flavor, you can add a tablespoon of soy sauce or tamari to the sautéed vegetables.
  • If you don't have fresh thyme, you can use dried thyme instead. Use 1 teaspoon of dried thyme instead of the tablespoon of fresh thyme.
