Before starting, preheat the oven to 425˚F.Remove 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter from the fridge and set aside to come up to room temperature.Wash and dry all produce. Stir together broth concentrate, wild rice medley, 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt in a medium pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low.
