wild rice and mushroom recipe Cranberry and Parsley Confetti
- Total Time: 80 minutes
- Yield: 6 servings 1x
- Diet: Vegetarian
Description
This wild rice and mushroom recipe with Cranberry and Parsley Confetti is a special yet easy side dish. Vibrant red cranberries and green parsley add a delightful visual pop and fresh flavor to this hearty, family-friendly meal.
Ingredients
- 1 cup wild rice, pure or blend
- 8 oz cremini or white button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup fresh Italian parsley, chopped
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth, low-sodium
- 1 Tbsp olive or avocado oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion; cook until softened and translucent, 5-7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic for one minute until fragrant.
- Brown Mushrooms: Add sliced mushrooms to the pot. Cook, stirring, until they release liquid and begin to brown on edges, 5-7 minutes. (If the pan looks dry, splash in 1-2 Tbsp more oil.)
- Add Wild Rice and Broth: Stir in 1 cup wild rice. Pour in 4 cups broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 45-50 minutes until rice is tender and liquid absorbed.
- Finish with Confetti: Remove from heat, keeping covered for 5 minutes. Stir in 0.5 cup dried cranberries and 0.25 cup fresh chopped parsley. Fluff with a fork.
Notes
Cook mushrooms in batches if needed for better browning to prevent overcrowding the pan. For special diets, ensure broth is certified gluten-free for a gluten-free dish and use oil for sautéing for a dairy-free option.
