Browning the vegetables in this one-pot meal brings out their natural sweetness. The extra work is worth the flavour boost!

Ingredients

Olive oil

1½ tsp(s)

Uncooked leek

2 cup(s), finely chopped, white parts only (about 2 large leeks)

Dried shiitake mushrooms

2 cup(s), sliced

Carrots

1 cup(s), diced

Vegetable broth

3 cup(s)

Table salt

1 tsp(s)

Uncooked wild rice

1 cup(s)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet. Add leeks and mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. (Note: If you’re in a hurry, skip this step and simply add all the ingredients directly to the slow cooker.)
  2. Spoon leeks and mushrooms into a 4- to 5-quart slow cooker. Add carrots, broth, salt and rice; cover and cook on low 6 to 7 hours. Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving.
