APPLE RICE
I got some apple sausage from Costco a few years ago and was experimenting with ways to use it, and came up with this. Mild Italian sausage works nicely too. It makes a good main dish served with salad and garlic bread, or a side served with chicken.

Steps:
- Start cooking the rice according to box directions, but leave out the seasonings.
- In a large pan over medium heat, cook the sausage until it's about halfway done.
- Add the apples, onions, garlic, carrot, and nuts.
- If the sausage has not released enough grease to coat all the ingredients, add butter.
- When the sausage is done and the apples and onions are beginning to caramelize, add the brown sugar and sprinkle with cinnamon, reducing heat to low.
- When the rice is done, add the rice to the pan with the sausage mixture and add enough butter to coat the rice, and additional brown sugar and cinnamon to taste.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the rice is coated with the butter and sugar and the ingredients are mixed well.
- It should be a fairly sticky consistency.

APPLE WALNUT RICE STUFFING (VEGAN)
This is a recipe from a 1987 issue of Better Homes & Gardens, from a Tyson chicken ad. It's meant to be stuffing for cornish game hens but because I don't eat meat and poultry, this serves as a nice vegetarian side dish (non-vegans can use butter for a richer flavor.) This would be great for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other feast. I don't normally keep storebought wild rice on hand so I used 1/3 cup each brown rice, black rice, and long-grain yellow rice. The ingredients were listed in the ad but no actual instructions were...so my instructions pretty much work, I had to add the extra 2 TB oil for cooking the onion; it wasn't originally listed. I chose those two oils based on what was on hand and what I thought would have the most interesting flavors.

Steps:
- Boil 2 cups of water in a large saucepan with a few shakes of table salt, and put the rice in it. Stir in the oil and cover, let cook on medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until an "al dente" texture.
- While the rice is cooking, turn on another burner and sautee the chopped onion in 2 TB oil of your choice until somewhat translucent, about 15-20 minutes.
- Turn the burners off to but leave the saucepan on with the rice and water. Fluff up with a wodden spoon or fork to evenly distribute the oil and you'll need the extra water too.
- In a small bowl, combine the port and parsley.
- Pour the sauteed onion, chopped celery, chopped apple, walnut bits, into the rice pan and mix.,
- Pour on the port and parsley mixture, and blend well.
- Turn the saucepan's burner back on, on medium-low heat, and cover again. Let cook another 8-10 minutes.
- Uncover, fluff with a wooden spoon or fork, and let stand for 5 minutes prior to serving or stuffing.

Tips:
- Choosing the Right Apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.
- Preparing the Walnuts: Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor. You can do this in a skillet over medium heat or in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
- Cooking the Rice: Use a long-grain rice like Basmati or Jasmine for a light and fluffy texture. Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any starch.
- Adding Flavor to the Rice: In addition to the walnuts and apples, consider adding other flavorful ingredients to the rice, such as dried cranberries, raisins, or sliced almonds.
- Seasoning the Rice: Don't forget to season the rice with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, autumnal flavor.
