Best Wild Rice Pilaf With Rosemary And Red Grapes Recipes

WILD RICE PILAF RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add in onion, carrots, and celery and saute until softened, 4-5 minutes.
• Stir in mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes. Add in garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
• Stir in wild rice blend, vegetable stock, salt and pepper. Put the lid on and bring it to a boil. As soon as it comes to a boil, turn the heat down to low and simmer for 45-50 minutes or until the liquid is mostly absorbed and wild rice blend is cooked through.

WILD RICE PILAF

Steps:

• Cook rice according to package instructions, using the broth instead of water. When cook time is up, do not open lid; turn heat off and keep lid tightly covered for 10 minutes to allow continued steaming. If rice is still a bit too firm, mix in just enough extra broth to moisten all rice, cover, and simmer another 10 minutes.
• While rice is cooking, add butter to a large/deep skillet over medium high heat. Once butter is melted and starting to bubble, add onion and carrots. Stir to combine. Cover and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add brussels sprouts, garlic, Italian seasoning, and black pepper, stirring another 2 minutes until softened.
• Check rice for doneness. Fluff with fork and add to skillet with vegetable mixture, stirring to incorporate. Taste and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed.
