Wild Rice Pilaf

Ingredients

1/4 cup wild rice
1/4 cup brown jasmine rice
3/4 cup vegetable broth
2 tbsp butter
1 yellow onion
3 stalk celery
1 apple
1/2 tsp dried sage
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1 tsp dried parsley

Instructions

1. Use rice cooker to prepare rices and broth together.

2. While the rice is cooking, prepare the rest of the pilaf. Dice the onion, celery, and apple.

3. Add the onion to a large skillet with the butter and sauté over medium heat until softened.

4. Add the apples, celery, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the onions and continue to sauté for about five minutes more, or just until the apples and celery begin to soften (they should still have some bite).

5. When the rice has finished cooking, add it to the skillet with the apples, celery, and onion. Also add the chopped walnuts, cranberries, and chopped parsley. Stir until everything is evenly combined.

6. Taste the pilaf and adjust the salt or seasonings to your liking. Serve hot.
