WILD RICE WITH PECANS, RAISINS, AND ORANGE ESSENCE
Steps:
- In a medium pot over high heat, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the wild rice, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the rice grains are tender, about 1 hour. Drain the cooked rice and transfer to a bowl to cool.
- Meanwhile, in a second medium pot over high heat, bring remaining 1 cup of water and the white rice to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the rice rest in the pot for 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
- Combine the wild and white rice, then add the pecans, raisins, onions, and mint and toss to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, orange zest, and juice, then pour it over the rice salad and toss to coat. Cover the salad and let it sit at room temperate for 2 hours. Season with salt and pepper and serve at room temperature.
- DO AHEAD
- The RICE SALAD can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, covered, overnight. Bring to room temperature before serving.
