Wild Rice Stir-fry

By Carolanne

In the fall, I always cook up a bunch of wild rice and freeze to have on hand for the season. Save even more time by buying already chopped onions, carrots and mushrooms.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 teaspoons chopped garlic
• 1/4 cup diced yellow onion
• 6 ounces sliced mushrooms
• 1/2 cup julienned carrots
• 1 1/2 cups cooked wild rice
• 3/4 cup fresh pea pods, blanched and cut in half on the bias
• 1/3 cup sherry
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup sliced green onions

Preparation

Step 1

In a skillet, heat oil and sauté garlic and yellow onion over low to medium heat until translucent. Add mushrooms and carrots and continue stir-frying 5 to 8 minutes, then add wild rice and pea pods. Add sherry and cook a few minutes until it’s absorbed. Season with salt and pepper and top with green onions.
