Instructions

Combine the rinsed wild rice and chicken broth in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 45–50 minutes, until the grains have split open and are tender but still have a slight chew.

While the rice cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 6–7 minutes.
