Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 onions or yellow onions, chopped (about 3 cups, medium, sweet
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 red bell pepper chopped (about 3 1/2 cups, large
- ¾ cup wild rice blend rinsed and drained (I love this one; this is another option, though it is not gluten free, uncooked
- 1 cup corn or corn cut from the cob, frozen whole kernel
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ cup pine nuts or chopped toasted pecans, toasted
- ½ cup basil chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Lightly coat a 3- to 4 1/2-quart slow cooker with nonstick spray. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic. Cook just until the onions begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- To the slow cooker, add the onion mixture, bell peppers, uncooked rice, corn, salt, and pepper. Pour 1 1/2 cups very hot water over the top. Stir to combine, cover, and cook 3 1/2 to 4 hours on low or 2 to 3 hours on high.
- When ready to serve, stir in the lemon juice, toasted pine nuts, and basil. Taste and add additional salt as desired. Enjoy warm.
Notes
- Cooking times can vary widely based on the model and size of your slow cooker. Be sure to check the rice early, especially if you are using a larger-size slow cooker, to make sure it does not overcook.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave.
