Ingredients

Ingredients List
  • 1 ½ cups uncooked wild rice

  • 3 cups boiling water

  • 1 cup uncooked brown rice

  • 1 cup diced onion

  • 1 cup diced carrots

  • ¾ cup diced celery

  • 3 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth

  • ½ teaspoon ground thyme

  • ¼ teaspoon dried marjoram

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper


Directions

  1. In heavy saucepan, soak wild rice in boiling water for 30 minutes. Drain; rinse thoroughly.

  2. In large skillet or Dutch oven, combine drained wild rice, brown rice, onion, carrots, celery, chicken broth, thyme, marjoram, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 50 to 60 minutes.

Cook's Note:

If you're not serving the rice immediately, transfer it to a 3-quart microwaveable bowl and refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve. To reheat: microwave, still covered, at full power until heated through, about 10 minutes, stirring after every 4 minutes.

Editor's Note:

To make this recipe gluten-free, be sure your chicken broth is gluten-free or substitute water. You may also use 1 cup white wine, 4 1/2 cups water.
