Steps:
- Cook rice according to package instructions, using the broth instead of water. When cook time is up, do not open lid; turn heat off and keep lid tightly covered for 10 minutes to allow continued steaming. If rice is still a bit too firm, mix in just enough extra broth to moisten all rice, cover, and simmer another 10 minutes.
- While rice is cooking, add butter to a large/deep skillet over medium high heat. Once butter is melted and starting to bubble, add onion and carrots. Stir to combine. Cover and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add brussels sprouts, garlic, Italian seasoning, and black pepper, stirring another 2 minutes until softened.
- Check rice for doneness. Fluff with fork and add to skillet with vegetable mixture, stirring to incorporate. Taste and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed.

WILD RICE PILAF BAKE
I make this recipe for almost every holiday and often take it to potlucks. Usually, I make the pilaf ahead to allow the flavors to blend and then reheat it in the microwave before serving. This also makes for more room in the oven and less chaos when you are putting out a big holiday meal. -Dianne Bettin, Truman, Minnesota

WILD RICE PILAF WITH NUTS AND LEMON
Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the pine nuts, garlic, zest, and thyme, swirl the pan until the nuts and garlic are beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the wild rice and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute tops. Stir in the chicken broth and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a rapid simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Check the texture of the rice and, if needed, continue simmering until tender. Add more liquid as needed, another 10 to 15 minutes. (Note: The rice should only just begin to crack when done. If it begins to curl it is overcooked. There are numerous varieties of varying qualities, which affect cooking times greatly.)
- Remove from the heat, scatter the scallions over the surface, fluff with a fork, and remove the herb sprigs and lemon zest before serving. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.

Steps:
- Heat the margarine in a large saucepan. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until golden.
- Add 4 cups water, the celery, and bouillon cubes and bring to a simmer. Stir in the rice mix, cover, and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, 35 to 40 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
- Did you know that wild rice is not really a type of rice, nor a grain at all? It is actually the seed of a tall aquatic grass that thrives in freshwater lakes or rivers. Most of the crop is harvested in and around Minnesota and other Great Lakes states by Native American-owned companies. Cultivating wild rice on a larger scale has proven difficult, so its niche remains as a specialty gourmet grain.
- Wild rice dishes help dress up fall harvest meals; they are especially compatible with winter squash dishes.
- Combine brown rice with a small amount of wild rice when cooking for added texture and nutty flavor.
- Add a small amount of cooked wild rice to stuffings and other wintery casseroles.
