INSTRUCTIONS

1
Cook the wild rice and carrots

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Heat 1 tsp vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add carrot and cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add wild rice blend, ¾ cup water, thyme, vegetable broth concentrate, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan with carrot and stir. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until water is absorbed and grains are tender, 28 to 32 minutes. (4-serving meal: use 2 tsp vegetable oil, 2 cups water).

2
Roast the beets

Add beet, 2 tsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a baking sheet and toss. Roast until tender, 16 to 20 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar to roasted beets and toss directly on the baking sheet. (4-serving meal: use 4 tsp olive oil). TIP: Beets can stain cutting boards and other surfaces, so be careful.

3
Marinate the beans

Add butter beans, just 1 tsp lemon zest, lemon juice, chives, 1 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a medium bowl. Toss the lemon chive butter beans. (4-serving meal: use 2 tsp lemon zest, 2 tbsp olive oil).

4
Serve

Divide the wild rice, beets, and lemon chive butter beans between bowls. Dollop with pesto and sprinkle with remaining lemon zest. Enjoy!
