Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup wild rice blend (usually a combination of wild rice, black rice, brown rice and white rice)
1 3/4 cups vegetable broth, chicken broth or water
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 medium yellow or white onion, finely diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound mixed mushrooms, such as shiitakes, button and cremini (baby bella), trimmed and sliced
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves, plus a sprig for garnish

Steps:

  • Combine the rice and broth in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover the pan, and simmer for 45 minutes. Turn the heat off and let the rice steam for another 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
  • While the rice cools, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it shimmers, add the onions and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are browned and soft and the liquid they release has evaporated, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
  • Gently mix the mushrooms and chopped rosemary into the cooled rice. Add salt to taste. Just before serving, garnish the rice with a drizzle of good olive oil and a sprig of fresh rosemary.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Use fresh rosemary, long-grain rice, and a flavorful broth for the best results.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking: Rinsing the rice removes the starch, which helps to prevent it from becoming sticky and clumpy.
  • Use a tight-fitting lid: When cooking the rice, place the lid on the pot tightly and do not lift it until the rice is done cooking. This will help the rice to cook evenly.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: After the rice is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the rice to absorb the remaining liquid and become more flavorful.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the rice with fresh herbs such as rosemary, parsley, or cilantro. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

This light and flavorful rosemary rice is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It is also a healthy and affordable side dish that is perfect for busy weeknights. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
