Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the riceIn a large pot, combine the wild rice, brown rice, and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Different brands of wild rice may vary in cooking time, so check package instructions.
-
Sauté the vegetablesWhile the rice cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for 5-6 minutes until vegetables begin to soften. Add the mushrooms and garlic, and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes until mushrooms are golden and vegetables are tender.
-
Combine ingredientsWhen the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the sautéed vegetables, dried cranberries, toasted nuts, thyme, and sage. Gently fold everything together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Rest and serveCover the pilaf and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Just before serving, gently stir in the fresh parsley, reserving a small amount for garnish. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with the remaining parsley.
-
Storage and reheatingThis pilaf can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, add a splash of broth or water and warm in a covered pan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, or microwave until heated through.
