I also replaced the chopped fresh thyme with 1 drop of Young Living Thyme Essential Oil. I add it right before serving.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup coarsely chopped carrot
- 8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 (8.5 ounce) pouch microwaveable precooked wild rice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet, over medium-high heat. Add carrot, mushrooms, and onion; cook 8 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
- Heat rice according to package directions. Add rice to pan; stir in remaining ingredients.
Since my children (this includes my husband) won’t eat an onion or shallot – I replace that with onion powder. I still get the flavor and they don’t pick anything out.
