CRANBERRY APPLE PECAN WILD RICE PILAF Recipe - (3.6/5) image

Provided by PineyCook

Number Of Ingredients 20

1-1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1-1/2 cups apple juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
1 cup wild rice, rinsed and drained
1/2 large onion, diced
1 Fuji or honeycrisp apple, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
Garnish (optional)
fresh thyme
fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Bring broth, apple juice Dijon, 1 tablespoon butter, salt, pepper, dried thyme, oregano, parsley and bay leaf to a boil in a large nonstick skillet. Add rice, cover and reduce heat to low (dial should be just above lowest LOW setting). Simmer 45-60 minutes or until rice is tender and almost all of the liquid has been absorbed, checking rice for doneness at 45 minutes. Once cooked, drain rice and leave in fine hole strainer. To the now empty pan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Increase heat to medium high and add onions and apples; saute for 5-7 minutes, or until onions and apples are tender. Add garlic and saute for 30 more seconds. Return rice to skillet along with cranberries, pecans and apple cider vinegar. Toss to evenly combine. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Garnish as desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh vegetables, flavorful herbs, and nutty wild rice will make all the difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcook the rice. Wild rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight chew to it.
  • Toast the pecans before adding them to the pilaf. This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Season the pilaf to taste. Start with the suggested amounts of salt and pepper, then add more to taste.
  • Garnish the pilaf with fresh herbs before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Wild rice pecan pilaf is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its nutty flavor and colorful vegetables, this pilaf is sure to please everyone at the table.
