Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion (2 cups), finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 boxes (6 ounces each) wild-rice blend (discard seasoning packets)
1 1/2 cups toasted walnuts, broken into small pieces
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Add 3 cups water; bring to a boil. Stir in wild-rice blend. Return to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer. Cover; cook over low heat until rice has absorbed all liquid, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer rice to a large bowl. Stir in walnuts, cranberries, and parsley; season again with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, or hold at room temperature for up to 5 hours.
