The ingredients for Wild rice with balsamic mushrooms are:

2 cups chicken broth
1 cup wild rice, rinsed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound mixed fresh mushrooms (such as oyster, cremini, and shiitake), sliced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, plus more for garnish
4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Here is how you make Wild rice with balsamic mushrooms:

1. Bring broth to a boil in a small pot. Add rice, and reduce to a simmer. Cover, and cook until rice is just tender and almost all the liquid has been absorbed, about 40 minutes. Remove from heat. Let sit, covered, 10 minutes. Drain any excess cooking liquid if necessary. Fluff rice with a fork. 2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, and cook 3 minutes (do not stir). Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt, and stir. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and add scallions. Cook until scallions are softened, about 1 minute. Turn off heat, and stir in vinegar. 3. Transfer rice to a serving bowl. Stir in mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Serving Size: Serves 6Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KLWOZNIAK.
