6 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | tablespoon | Butter |
| 2 | Garlic cloves, minced | |
| 1 | Onion, chopped | |
| ½ | teaspoon | Dried thyme |
| ¼ | teaspoon | Pepper |
| 1½ | cup | Chicken/vegetable stock |
| 1 | tablespoon | White wine vinegar |
| ½ | cup | Wild rice, rinsed/drained |
| 1 | cup | Long-grain rice |
| ½ | Sweet red/yellow pepper, diced | |
| ½ | teaspoon | Salt |
Directions
Tip: While rice is cooking, do not stir it unless specifically stated in the recipe - the grain's starch will be released and make the rice sticky.
In large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; cook garlic, onion, thyme and pepper, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add stock, 1-¼ cups water and vinegar; bring to boil.
Add wild rice to saucepan and return to boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer for 35 minutes. Stir in long-grain rice; cover and simmer for about 30 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. With fork, stir in sweet pepper and salt; cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
