Provided by Chew Out Loud

Categories     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups wild rice blend (such as Lundgren's)
Regular strength chicken or vegetable broth (enough to use instead of water, for cooking rice according to package instructions)
1/4 cup salted butter (sliced)
1 large onion (chopped)
1 cup thinly sliced baby carrots
2 cups freshly shaved brussels sprouts
4 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tsp dry Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

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



Wild Rice Pilaf Bake image

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

Tips:

  • Use high-quality wild rice: Look for wild rice that is plump and has a deep brown color. Avoid wild rice that is broken or has a lot of dust.
  • Rinse the wild rice thoroughly: This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Toast the wild rice: This will help to bring out the nutty flavor of the rice.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will add a lot of flavor to the pilaf. Choose a broth that is made with real ingredients and has a good flavor.
  • Add some vegetables: Vegetables will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the pilaf. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onion, and mushrooms.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs will add a lot of flavor to the pilaf. Some good choices include rosemary, thyme, and sage.
  • Don't overcook the rice: Wild rice is a little more delicate than other types of rice, so it's important to not overcook it. Otherwise, it will become mushy.

Conclusion:

Wild rice pilaf is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or side dish. It's a great way to use up leftover wild rice, and it's also a good option for a healthy and flavorful meal. With its nutty flavor and chewy texture, wild rice pilaf is a dish that everyone will enjoy.
