Ingredients

1 cup wild rice

2 cups vegetable broth

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup pecans, chopped

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Rinse the wild rice under cold water.

In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.

Stir in the wild rice and cook for 2-3 minutes until lightly toasted.

Pour in the vegetable broth, dried cranberries, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

In the last 10 minutes of cooking, add the chopped pecans.

Once cooked, fluff the pilaf with a fork and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
