    Serves: 16 servings
    Ingredients
    • 8 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
    • 2 cups wild rice
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 2 tablespoons non-GMO canola oil
    • 1 medium white onion, chopped
    • 1 cup diced red bell pepper
    • ½ cup chopped walnuts
    • ½ cup golden raisins
    • ¼ cup finely diced parsley
    Instructions
    1. Bring the broth to a boil in a large saucepan. Stir in the wild rice and salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 to 45 minutes, or just until the rice kernels puff open.
    2. Uncover the rice and fluff with a fork. Simmer an additional 5 minutes then drain the excess liquid.
    3. Place the cooked rice in large serving bowl and set aside to cool.
    4. Heat the canola oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute for 1 to 2 minutes or until translucent.
    5. Add the peppers, walnuts and raisins. Cook until lightly browned and fragrant. Add the sauteed mixture and parsley to wild rice. Stir to combine and serve warm.
