Sun-Dried Tomato & Onion Wild Rice

Wild rice is high in protein, the amino acid lysine and fiber, all while being low-fat and flavorful. I use vegetable broth in this recipe, and have found that it gives the rice a rich flavor. It makes a wonderful side dish, or top it with vegetables for your main dish.

Here’s what you need:

• 2 Tablespoons plus 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomato, chopped
• 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup dried wild rice

1. Place 2 Tablespoons of vegetable broth in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the sun-dried tomato, garlic, thyme, rosemary and a dash of salt and pepper. Saute for another 3 minutes.
2. Add the wild rice and the remaining 4 cups of vegetable broth. Mix well, then cover and simmer for 40 minutes or until the broth has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
