Wild Rice Mushroom (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Basic Needs

01 - 4 garlic cloves, chopped finely
02 - 8 oz cremini (baby bella) mushrooms, cut into slices
03 - 1/2 cup celery, diced small
04 - 3/4 cup carrots, chopped finely
05 - 1 yellow onion, diced small
06 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
07 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

→ Rice & Flavorings

08 - 1 teaspoon black pepper
09 - 1 tablespoon chicken seasoning or Herbs De Provence
10 - 1 cup uncooked wild rice mix
11 - 1 teaspoon coarse salt

→ Liquids + Cheesy Add-Ons

12 - 1/3 cup Parmesan, grated super fine
13 - 2/3 cup cream (make it heavy or swap for cashew cream)
14 - 4 cups low-sodium veggie broth

# Instructions:

01 - Let the heavy cream sit out until it's no longer cold. If you're going for cashew cream, soak 1/3 cup raw cashews in 2/3 cup hot water.
02 - Melt the butter with oil in a big pot or Dutch oven on medium-high heat. Toss in onion, carrots, and celery, cooking for about 8 minutes. Add garlic and mushrooms, stir occasionally, and cook for another 6-8 minutes until golden.
03 - Dump in the wild rice and stir for a minute or two. Sprinkle in salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning.
04 - Add veggie broth and an extra cup of water. Once it starts bubbling gently, cover it up, lower the heat, and let it cook for 45-60 minutes until the rice softens up.
05 - Pour in the cream, stirring slowly. Gradually mix in Parmesan to avoid clumps. Serve hot and enjoy!

# Notes:

01 - You can use heavy cream or swap it with cashew cream.
02 - Store in the fridge and it's good for 5 days.
03 - Freeze it and it'll last up to 3 months.
