Instructions

How to Make Mushroom Wild Rice Pilaf

Rinse the wild rice thoroughly under cold water to remove any debris and excess starch.
Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering.
Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic for about 3-4 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the sautéed onions and garlic; cook for another 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
Combine the rinsed wild rice with the sautéed mixture and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle boil.
Simmer the pilaf by reducing the heat to low, covering the pot, and letting it cook for about 45 minutes.
Fluff the pilaf with a fork and season generously with salt and pepper.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley just before serving.

Notes

Optional: Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice for a bright finish.
