🍲 “You Wild, Rice!” Bowl (with Chicken Broth & Herbs)
“It’s rustic. It’s herby. It’s got chicken broth and jokes stirred in.”
🍃 Ingredients (Serves 4 or 2 if you’re feelin’ extra wholesome)
🍚 Main Players:
• 1 cup wild rice (or a wild rice blend, let your grain freak flag fly)
• 3 cups chicken broth (low sodium, unless your soul is salty)
• 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• ½ tsp dried sage
• 1 tsp dried parsley or 1 tbsp fresh
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Optional: chopped celery, mushrooms, or carrots for bonus veggie vibes
• Optional: shredded cooked chicken for a heartier meal
Joke break:
Why did the rice bring herbs to the party?
Because it wanted to get a little “thyme” on the dance floor! 🌿💃
👨🍳 Instructions
- Sauté the base:
In a medium pot, heat oil or butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic. Cook until fragrant and slightly translucent, aka, until your kitchen starts smelling like grandma’s hugs. - Add rice and herbs:
Stir in wild rice, thyme, sage, and parsley. Toast the rice for 1–2 minutes like it’s getting a sun tan. - Pour in the broth:
Add chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45–50 minutes (yup, wild rice takes its sweet time, because drama builds flavor). - Fluff and finish:
Once rice is tender and the broth is absorbed, fluff with a fork. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add cooked chicken or sautéed veggies if you’re feeling ambitious. - Serve hot, preferably in your coziest bowl while pretending you live in a log cabin.
