Wild rice with red onion is a dish that combines the rich earthy notes of wild rice with the soft sweetness of caramelized red onion. This recipe has roots in Italian cuisine, where simple ingredients are transformed into gastronomic masterpieces. Red wine vinegar adds a slight tang to the onion, while olive oil enhances its aroma. Wild rice, rich in fiber and micronutrients, makes this dish not only tasty but also healthy. This side pairs well with meat, fish, or vegetables and can also serve as a standalone warm salad. Easy to prepare and surprisingly rich in flavor, it makes a wonderful choice for a Mediterranean-style dinner.
