Method

If possible, soak wild rice in cold water overnight to reduce cooking time.


Bring 1 3/4 cups broth to a boil in a medium pot. 


Stir in rice. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. (If rice is not pre-soaked, add 3/4 cup water to broth and increase cooking time to about 40 minutes.)


Heat a large skillet over medium heat until hot. 


Add onion and garlic and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until beginning to stick to skillet. 


Stir in 1/4 cup broth and continue to cook 3 to 4 minutes or until onion is translucent. 


Stir in remaining broth, squash and zucchini and cook about 8 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. 


Stir in parsley, nutritional yeast, oregano, lemon zest, pepper and cooked rice until evenly blended. 


Remove from heat and serve warm or cold.
