Ingredients
- 2 cups vegetable stock
- 1 ¼ cups quick-cook wild rice blend
- Pinch of sea salt
- 2-3 bay leaves
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter olive oil for vegan
- 1 cup yellow onion diced
- ¾ cup carrot diced (~4 carrots)
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¾ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 9 button mushrooms sliced (approximately 2 cups sliced)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium or large saucepan, combine stock, rice, salt, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil and simmer, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes until al dente (more depending on your wild rice blend). Rice will have absorbed most of the liquid, but should still be semi-liquidy.
- While rice simmers, melt butter or heat olive oil into a large skillet, add onion and carrot, with a pinch of salt. Saute for approximately 3 minutes and add garlic. Add in dried herbs (rub between hands before adding to release flavors) and mushrooms. Saute for an additional 7 minutes, until mushrooms have cooked through, adding salt to taste.
- Add rice (with extra liquid) to vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Continue simmering for approximately 3-5 minutes, until rice is cooked through and remains moist, but not wet.
- Add salt and pepper to taste and remove bay leaves. Top with additional freshly chopped parsley if desired.

Notes
