Ingredients
- 1 cup wild rice blend
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- ½ onion diced
- 2 stalks celery diced
- 1 carrot grated
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon sage
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Rinse the rice well, until the rinse water is clear. Drain it well in a fine mesh strainer.
- In a 1 quart saucepan, sauté the onions and celery until the onion is translucent. Add small amounts of water or broth to deglaze the pan, if the vegetables start to stick.
- Add the carrots and garlic, and sauté for about one more minute, until the garlic is fragrant.
- Stir in the rice, broth, herbs and seasonings. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and simmer for 40 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the burner, lift the lid, and cover the pot with a clean kitchen towel. Then replace the lid over the towel. Let the rice stand for about 10 minutes. The towel will absorb the excess moisture.
- After 10 minutes, fluff the rice with a fork, and add in the chopped pecans and dried cranberries.
