Ingredients

• 1 cup Wild rice
• 3 cups Vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium (diced) Red onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 12 ounces Artichoke hearts (canned or jarred, drained and quartered)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Thyme (fresh, chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh, chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Slivered almonds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the wild rice under cold water using a fine-mesh sieve.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Stir in the wild rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40-45 minutes or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.

Step 3

While the rice cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Sauté the diced red onion for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 6

Stir in the artichoke hearts and cook for 4-5 minutes until they are heated through and slightly golden on the edges.

Step 7

Add the cooked wild rice to the skillet with the artichoke mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Drizzle the lemon juice over the rice mixture and sprinkle in the thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with slivered almonds, if desired. Serve warm.
