Ingredients (serves 6-8):

- 2 cups wild rice
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for cooking

Cooking Tips:

- Rinse the wild rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any debris or dirt.
- Use a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven to cook the rice and mushrooms together.
- Be sure to stir the rice and mushrooms frequently to prevent sticking and burning.
- Add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese at the end of cooking to prevent curdling.

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the wild rice and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
2. While the rice is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
3. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and browned.
4. Pour in the white wine and stir to deglaze the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the wine has reduced by half.
5. Add the cooked rice to the skillet with the mushrooms and stir to combine. Pour in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
