# Detailed Preparation Steps:
01 -
Put the broth in a medium pot and bring it up to a boil. Toss in the wild rice, turn the heat down low, cover it, and let it simmer for 40 to 45 minutes. The rice should soak up the broth and get tender.
02 -
While the rice is going, warm olive oil in a big pan over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic until they look see-through and smell good.
03 -
Throw the mushroom slices in the pan with thyme, salt, and pepper. Let them cook for 7 to 10 minutes until they turn golden and the moisture is gone.
04 -
Add the rice into the pan with mushrooms. Stir in toasted pecans, fresh parsley, and lemon juice or vinegar if you decided to use it. Give it a gentle toss to warm it all together.
05 -
Give it a quick taste and tweak the seasoning if needed before serving.
# Helpful Tips:

To make pecans taste better, toast them in a dry pan or oven first.

For a fuller flavor, try swapping veggie broth with chicken broth.
