Ingredients

3 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup wild rice
1/2 cup long grain brown rice (jasmine, texamati, basmati, etc)
2 bay leaves
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 cup minced red onion
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 carrot diced into very small cubes
1 small zucchini diced into very small cubes
1/2 cup dried red cherries (or cranberries)
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
salt and pepper

Directions:

Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a medium pot. Stir in wild rice, brown rice, 1 bay leaf, and 2 sprigs of the thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium pan, sauté onion in olive oil over medium heat until they begin to soften, about 4–5 minutes. Add carrots and zucchini. Soften a few more minutes. Add the cherries, the last bay leaf, and final 2 sprigs of thyme. Cook 1–2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Once rice has cooked 20 minutes, add vegetable/fruit mixture. Stir in. Replace cover. Cook 20 minutes more for a total cooking time of 40 minutes for the rice. Remove from heat and let sit about 10 minutes. Stir in parsley, black pepper, and salt to taste.
