I love the combination of rice and fruit, so this is a go-to Thanksgiving side dish at my house. I toss in mushrooms and toasted almonds to enhance the flavor. You can also include dried cherries or cranberries if you'd like. —Janie Colle, Hutchinson, Kansas

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 3 cups uncooked wild rice

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) vegetable broth
  • 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms; cook and stir 4-5 minutes or until tender. In a 5-qt. slow cooker, combine rice, mushrooms, onions, salt and pepper.
