2 cups chicken broth

1 cup wild rice blend

1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup sweet potato, (diced small)

Directions

In a medium-sized saucepan bring the broth to a boil and add wild rice, parsley, oregano, and thyme. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover with a lid. Cook for 30 minutes or until tender. Alternatively, you may follow the liquid/rice ratios and cooking directions according to your particular brand of wild rice blend for 1 cup of rice.

Add the dried cranberries and chopped pecans to the sweet potato mixture then cook for 1-2 minutes.

Add the sweet potato mixture to the rice mixture and fluff with a fork.

Garnish with fresh parsely and serve warm!
