WHITE AND WILD RICE PILAF

Love the nut and cranberry combination in this dish as well as the two kinds of rices. Found it on a bottle of lemon juice from the grocery store, but that doesn't mean you can't use fresh lemon juice instead. Nice side for Thanksgiving. Cooking time includes a little prep time. If you only have fresh pecans, they can be toasted in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes (while rice is cooking). Wild rice and rice pilafs are classic Canadian fare, so I have posted this for Zaar World Tour 2005 (Canadian).

WILD RICE PILAF WITH NUTS AND LEMON



Wild Rice Pilaf with Nuts and Lemon image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h8m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 clove garlic, minced
1 long strip lemon zest
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 cup wild rice, preferably whole not broken
4 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1 bunch scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced (3/4 cup)
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pine nuts, garlic, zest, and thyme, swirl the pan until the nuts and garlic are beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the wild rice and cook stirring with a wooden spoon until lightly toasted, about 3 more minutes. Stir in the chicken broth and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a rapid simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Check the texture of the rice, and continue simmering until tender, if needed. Add more liquid as needed, another 10 to 15 minutes. (Note: The rice should only just begin to crack when done. If it begins to curl it is overcooked. There are numerous varieties of varying qualities, which affect cooking times greatly.) Remove from the heat, scatter the scallions over the surface and fluff with a fork, remove the herb sprigs and lemon zest before serving. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.

BROWN AND WILD RICE PILAF



Brown and Wild Rice Pilaf image

I created this a few years ago at Thanksgiving as substitute for stuffing for the vegetarians. The whole family has adopted it, as we do not cook a whole turkey anymore, just a turkey breast. I suppose it probably could be used to stuff a turkey. It is a bit of trouble to cook the two rices and the vegetable mixture in separate pans, but I find that the taste and texture turns out much better than when I've tried to cook them together.
