Categories     Side Dish

Time 5h20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion (diced)
2 ribs celery (finely sliced)
16 ounces cremini baby bella mushrooms, (sliced)

  • Taste and add additional salt and/or pepper as desired. Cover and let stand 10 minutes. Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted almonds over the top. Serve warm.

1 1/2 cups uncooked wild rice
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 medium green onions, sliced, about 1/4 cup
2 (14 ounce) cans vegetable broth

  • Use a slow cooker with a removable crock: This makes it easy to transfer the cooked rice to a serving dish.
  • Add the cranberries and nuts towards the end of the cooking time: This helps to prevent them from becoming overcooked and mushy.
  • Season to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste before serving.
