Makes 12 servings
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 70 minutes

Ingredients

3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 large yellow onion, diced
5 sprigs rosemary, leaves stripped from the stalks and finely minced
1 tbsp. finely minced sage
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1 cup wild rice
3/4 cup brown rice
4 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup dried cranberries

Directions

STEP 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat, then add the olive oil. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about three to four minutes. Add the rosemary, sage, and salt, and cook until fragrant, about one minute.

STEP 2

Add the wild rice and brown rice, and stir until the grains are evenly coated in oil. Cook until the rice is lightly toasted, about two to three minutes.

STEP 3

Add the broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the moisture has been absorbed, about 50 to 60 minutes.

STEP 4

Once the rice is cooked, fluff with a fork, add the dried cranberries, and toss until combined. Enjoy warm.

STEP 5
