- 1 cup wild rice, rinsed
- ½ cup long-grain white rice
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth, divided
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
- 4 stalks celery, finely diced
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large saucepan, combine the rinsed wild rice with 2 1/2 cups of the chicken broth. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 45–50 minutes, until the wild rice grains have split open and are tender but still slightly chewy.

While the wild rice cooks, toast the pecans in a dry large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 3–4 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden — watch closely, as they can brown quickly. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
