Ingredients

• 1 cup wild rice
• 3 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
• 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 celery stalks, finely diced
• 1 large carrot, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the wild rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a boil. Add the wild rice, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 40-45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. Drain any excess liquid and fluff the rice with a fork.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced onion, celery, and carrot to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Once the rice is cooked, add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
