Recipe Description
This Classic Vegan Wild Rice Pilaf recipe showcases the beauty of simple, wholesome ingredients coming together to form a nourishing and delightful dish. The heart of this recipe lies in the blend of wild and brown rice, which not only provides a rich source of fiber but also a splendid variety of textures. Cooked to perfection with a mélange of aromatic vegetables like carrots, onions, and celery, each bite offers a crunch that complements the softness of the rice beautifully. A subtle hint of thyme and bay leaf introduces an earthy flavor profile that is both grounding and elevating. This dish, steeped in the principles of vegan cooking, pays homage to the simplicity of plant-based ingredients, transforming them into a pilaf that’s as satisfying to the palate as it is beneficial for the body.
Ingredients
- 1 cup wild rice blend
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Steps:
- Rinse the wild rice blend under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the wild rice blend, then add the vegetable broth, bay leaf, and thyme.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove the bay leaf, then season the pilaf with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
