# Ingredients:

→ Core Ingredients

01 - 1 yellow onion, chopped finely
02 - 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
03 - 3/4 cup carrots, finely chopped
04 - 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (baby bella), sliced
05 - 4 minced cloves of garlic
06 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
07 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

→ Grains and Spices

08 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
09 - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
10 - 1 cup wild rice mix (dry)
11 - 1 tablespoon Herbs De Provence or poultry seasoning

→ Liquids and Cheeses

12 - 4 cups vegetable broth (low sodium)
13 - 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese (grated finely)
14 - 2/3 cup heavy cream or cashew cream

# Instructions:

01 - Bring heavy cream to room temperature first. If you're using cashew cream, steep 1/3 cup raw cashews in 2/3 cup boiling water until soft.
02 - Melt the butter and oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrot—cook about 8 minutes until softened. Toss in mushrooms and garlic, stir, and cook for another 6-8 minutes until golden.
03 - Mix in the rice and stir for about 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and herbs.
04 - Pour in broth and 1 cup of water. Let the mix reach a gentle boil, cover it, drop the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 45-60 minutes until the rice is cooked through.
05 - Add heavy cream while stirring. Sprinkle in Parmesan cheese bit by bit, and keep stirring so it doesn't clump. Serve warm.

# Notes:

01 - Heavy cream can be swapped for cashew cream
02 - Will stay good in the fridge for 5 days
03 - Can freeze and store for up to 3 months
