How to Make Wild Rice And Shiitake Mushroom Pilaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, 2 celery stalks, chopped, and 1 cup of chopped carrots. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add 8 ounces of shiitake mushrooms, sliced, 1/2 cup of pecans, chopped, and 1 cup of wild rice. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
  5. Pour in 3 cups of vegetable broth (or chicken broth for a richer flavor), stirring well to combine.
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Consider adding other herbs such as thyme or rosemary (1 teaspoon each).
  7. Cover the skillet tightly and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  8. Remove from oven and let stand for 5-10 minutes before fluffing with a fork and serving.
