Ingredients

  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic finely chopped
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

Instructions

  • Rinse the wild rice under running water to remove any debris or dust.

  • Pour in the chicken stock, add the butter and salt, and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid and simmer for 45-50 minutes or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, covered.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork and transfer it to a serving dish.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve.
