Mushroom and Wild Rice Slow Cooker Stew
POINTS® Value | 4
Servings | 4
Preparation Time | 17 min

Browning the vegetables in this one-pot meal brings out their natural sweetness. The extra work is worth the flavor boost!

Ingredients

1 1/2 tsp olive oil
2 cup leek(s), finely chopped, white parts only (about 2 large leeks)
2 cup shiitake mushroom(s), sliced
1 cup carrot(s), diced
3 cup vegetable broth
1 tsp table salt
1 cup uncooked wild rice

Instructions

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet. Add leeks and mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. (Note: If you’re in a hurry, skip this step and simply add all the ingredients directly to the slow cooker.)

Spoon leeks and mushrooms into a 4- to 5-quart slow cooker. Add carrots, broth, salt and rice; cover and cook on low 6 to 7 hours. Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving.
