This recipe is the epitome of fall! The flavors and textures together are oh-so-yummy! I love this one paired with my Butter Herb Roasted Chicken or a piece of roasted fish! I love making up a big batch to eat on for the week. Plus, I think you'll fall in love with my honey mustard sauce! Not only is it good on this dish, but it's fantastic on so many dishes like sandwiches, gluten free pretzels, chicken and so much more. Let me know what you think if you try it!
What You'll Need:
• 1 cup wild rice
• 3 cups chicken bone broth
• 1 sweet potato
• 2 cups Brussels sprouts
• 2 handfuls whole pecans
• 1/3 cup dried cranberries
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp sage
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp cayenne
• Fresh parsley, for garnish
• Avocado Oil
• Salt & pepper
For the honey mustard sauce:
• 2 tbsp mayo
• 2 tbsp whole grain mustard or whole grain dijon
• 2 tbsp yellow mustard
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• Salt & pepper
How To:
≥≥ Wild rice takes bout 87 hours to cook. I'm joking, of course it doesn't really, but it does take a while so you want to get that on first. Heat up a little avocado oil in a pan, toast your washed wild rice and pour in your broth. Water works fine too, it's just a little less flavorful. Get the lid on and cook according to package in instructions. *Make sure your wild rice mixture is gluten free, not all wild rice is gluten free depending on what additives some companies use.*
≥≥ Peel and chop your sweet potato into small cubes, about 1/2 inch. Peel the outer layer off your Brussels sprouts if they are dingy. Shred your Brussels up until they're falling a part. This can be done with a mandolin or knife. Be careful either way, please! With your pecans, keep one handful whole and give the other handful a rough chop.
≥≥ In a pan, heat some avocado oil and toss in your sweet potatoes. Roast them until they are almost done - toss in your Brussels, pecans and cranberries. Add in your spices and salt and pepper to taste. Roast for about 5 minutes more or until the Brussels have some color and the sweet potatoes are all the way done. You want them soft with the poke of a fork. This step can also be done in the oven on a greased sheet pan - you'll just have to watch it a little more for done time.
≥≥ In a bowl, mix together your honey mustard sauce ingredients until combined. This is so yummy on so many different recipes!
≥≥ Plate it up! Mix together your rice and roasted veggie mixture. Drizzle your honey mustard over the top.
