Steps:
- In a large saucepan simmer broth, water, and beans, covered, 45 minutes. Stir in wild rice and simmer, covered, 45 minutes, or until beans and rice are tender. Drain rice mixture and return to pan.
- Cut leeks crosswise into 1/2-inch slices and in a bowl soak in water, agitating occasionally to dislodge any sand, 5 minutes. Lift leeks out of water and drain in a colander. In a non-stick skillet sauté leeks in butter over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms with salt to taste and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Stir leek mixture into rice mixture. Rice mixture may be made up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat mixture, adding water to prevent it from sticking to skillet, before proceeding.
- Stir hazelnuts and cranberries into rice mixture and serve warm.
BAKED RICE WITH WHITE BEANS, LEEKS AND LEMON
Baking is a fail-safe, hands-off method for making perfect rice every time. Add roasted leeks, lemon peel, almonds and white beans, and it becomes a company-worthy vegetarian dinner inspired by prasorizo, the classic Greek rice-and-leek dish. Finished with Parmesan and fresh herbs, it's an excellent one-pan meal, but it would also be great served alongside grilled fish, shrimp or chicken. If you like, you can make it even more filling by adding other vegetables like tomatoes, zucchini or broccoli florets with the leeks and almonds, or stir in spinach, arugula or sliced snap peas after it comes out of the oven in Step 4. Omit the Parmesan and it's vegan, too.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Rinse the leeks until they're clean, then shake or pat dry. Using a vegetable peeler, peel 1-inch-thick strips of lemon zest, then cut the lemon in half. Cut one half into four wedges and reserve the other half.
- In a 9-by-13-inch baking pan, combine the leeks, lemon zest strips, almonds, red-pepper flakes and olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper, and arrange in an even layer. Roast until the leeks start to caramelize, about 20 minutes.
- Finely chop the lemon zest strips, then stir it back into the leek mixture and arrange in an even layer. Sprinkle the rice evenly over the leeks, then top with the beans and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the boiling water, then seal the pan tightly with foil. Bake until the rice is tender, 20 to 22 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Squeeze the lemon half over the rice, then stir in Parmesan and herbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges, and more Parmesan and herbs, as desired.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil over a medium-sized, heavy skillet or saucepan, and add the leeks and carrots. Cook, stirring, until the leeks are tender and translucent and the carrots have softened slightly, about five minutes. Add the garlic and salt to taste. Cook, stirring, until the garlic smells fragrant, about a minute. Add the rice and about 1/2 teaspoon salt, and stir to coat the grains with olive oil. Add the water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer over low heat until the rice is tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from the heat, and do not remove the cover for 10 minutes. Then stir in the lemon juice, and taste and adjust salt. Serve hot or warm.

GRIDDLED LEEKS WITH HAZELNUT DRESSING
A light, citrussy vegetarian starter - it's just as good at room temperature if you don't want to do last-minute griddling
Provided by Sarah Cook
Time 20m
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Arrange the leeks in a wide, lidded pan, so they're no more than 2 leeks deep at any point, then pour over enough boiling water to cover. Cover the pan and cook for 4-6 mins until just tender. Drain, refresh in cold water, then drain again. Now set aside until you are ready to serve.
- Whizz the nuts in a food processor until finely chopped but not powdery, or chop by hand. Mix with the oil, citrus juices and vinegar. Season well.
- To serve, heat a griddle or frying pan and toss the leeks in some oil. Griddle batches for 1 min on each side until slightly charred and warmed through, then put onto 4 plates. Stir the parsley into the nutty dressing, spoon over and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right type of rice: For this recipe, a medium-grain rice like Arborio or Carnaroli is best. These rices have a high starch content, which helps them to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients and create a creamy texture.
- Rinse the rice before cooking: This will help to remove any surface starch and prevent the rice from becoming sticky.
- Toast the rice before adding the liquid: This step helps to develop the rice's flavor and give it a slightly nutty taste.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth is an important part of this dish, so use a broth that you enjoy the taste of. Vegetable broth, chicken broth, or beef broth are all good options.
- Add the vegetables and nuts towards the end of cooking: This will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked.
- Season the rice to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or basil add a nice pop of color and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
This rice with leeks and hazelnuts is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of the creamy rice, the tender leeks, and the crunchy hazelnuts is sure to please everyone at the table. Next time you're looking for a new side dish to try, give this recipe a try.
