This tasty wild rice pilaf recipe is cooked with carrots, finely grated red onion, celery, baby Portobello mushrooms and topped with slivered almonds. Wild rice is rich in antioxidants, minerals, fiber and protein. It is considered to be more healthy than white rice.
I find that this side dish goes very well with just about any meat you have as your main dish. I like it with the Instant Pot boneless pork chops recipe*
Would you be surprised to know that wild rice is not even rice at all. It is actually made up of four types of grasses and packed with lots of plant protein and no fats. And, of course, wild rice is naturally gluten free.
