Wild rice pilaf is a hearty and flavorful side dish that's perfect for serving with roasted meats or vegetables. To make it, heat some oil in a large skillet and add diced onions and garlic. Cook until the onions are translucent, then add 1 cup of wild rice and cook for a few minutes until the rice is lightly toasted. Add 2 cups of chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 40-45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Stir in some chopped nuts and dried fruit, such as cranberries or apricots, and serve hot.
