This side dish is simple to make but it dresses up baked chicken and spicy meats equally as well because of its mix of savory, nuttiness, and a bit of sweet.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced, or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Place rice, broth, salt, and rosemary into rice steamer or pot, and cook per the package’s instructions.
  2. Once the rice is almost finished cooking, add the dried cranberries and stir.
  3. Continue to cook for the remainder of time indicated on the package instructions or until the rice is tender yet slightly al dente.
  4. Serve warm with a few good cranks of freshly ground pepper.

Notes

Add a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to add a crunch and additional nutrition.
