Wild Rice Pilaf

Print This Recipe



I usually mix this with long grain rice, but it is good by itself. You can change the herbs and substitute them with others depending on the main dish.

INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped green pepper
1 large clove garlic, minced
3 cups water
8 ounces wild rice
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then the onions and peppers. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté 1 more minute. Add the water, rice and seasonings. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil then cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the rice is tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. (If there is still liquid in the pan when the rice is done, remove the lid and cook until the liquid evaporates). Let set 3 to 5 minutes and then fluff with a fork, serve immediately.
