2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 large onion (chopped)
2 medium-sized carrots (cut into small ½ inch pieces)
3 stalks of celery (cut into small ½ inch pieces)
8 oz. mushrooms (wiped with a paper towel and sliced (button, baby bella or wild mushrooms would all work))
2 cloves of garlic (minced)
2 cups of wild rice blend (rinsed)
3 cups of vegetable stock (chicken stock would also work)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Time 1h30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 cup brown rice
4 cups water
1 cup instant long grain and wild rice
1 (1 pound) loaf white bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 stalks celery, grated
4 carrots, grated
1 small onion, grated
2 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and chopped
1 cup chicken broth

Steps:

In a large saucepan or rice cooker, combine the brown rice and water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Set a timer for 20 minutes. When that time is up, stir in the instant wild rice. Continue to simmer, covered, until the rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 10 to 15 more minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the bread cubes over a baking sheet and season with sage, thyme, and garlic powder. Bake for 10 minutes, or until bread is lightly toasted and spices are fragrant. Set aside to cool slightly. Leave the oven on.
In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with the celery, carrot, onion, and apples. Stir in the rice until evenly distributed. Pour into a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the chicken broth evenly over the top. Cover with aluminum foil.
Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until heated through. Remove the aluminum foil and bake an additional 10 minutes if you like a crispy top.

Tips:

Use high-quality wild rice: Opt for organic, whole grain wild rice for the best flavor and texture.
Rinse the rice thoroughly: This removes excess starch and helps prevent clumping.
Toast the rice before cooking: Toasting the rice in a little butter or oil enhances its nutty flavor.
Use a combination of water and broth: This adds more flavor to the rice.
Cook the rice over low heat: This helps the rice cook evenly and prevents it from becoming mushy.
Let the rice rest before serving: This allows the rice to absorb any remaining liquid and become fluffy.

Conclusion:

Elizabeth's Wild Rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or side dish. With its nutty flavor and chewy texture, it's a great choice for any occasion. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish to serve at a dinner party, Elizabeth's Wild Rice is sure to please everyone at the table.
