Earthy flavored, gluten-free wild rice combines beautifully with aromatic vegetables and garlic for a pilaf that can also be served stuffed into a winter squash.
Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, wild rice, leeks, celery and garlic, and sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables take on a brighter hue.
Lower the heat and slowly pour in the water. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Serve at once.
