Description

Everyone will love this healthy, vegetarian side dish that goes with just about any entree. It's loaded with mixed mushrooms, a wild rice blend and onion. It's easy to prepare but takes a little bit of time.

Ingredients

• 1 T. unsalted butter
• 1 large white onion, chopped
• 3/4 t. salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• 2 c. wild rice blend
• 4 c. vegetable broth
• 2 T. olive oil
• 1 lb. mixed mushrooms (button, cremini, and shiitake, sliced)
• 1/2 t. salt
• 1/2 t. black pepper
• 1/3 c. dry white wine
• 2 T. freshly chopped chives

Steps

1. Heat butter in a large, heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and 3/4 t. salt; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add wild rice blend; saute, stirring constantly, for about 30 seconds. Add vegetable broth to rice and onion mixture; bring to a boil; cover; turn heat to low. Cook for 45 minutes or until the broth is absorbed.
2. While the rice is cooking, prepare the mushrooms.
3. Heat a large skillet in olive oil over medium-high heat; add mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until browned, about 8 minutes. Add wine; cook until evaporated, about 4-5 minutes.
