For you Vegetarians...Wild Rice with Dried Cranberries, Green Onions, and Pecans
I tried this tonight for dinner...FI and I really liked it! It's once again from the Bride and Groom First and Forever Cookbook:
1/3 Cup Pecans
1 Cup Wild Rice
1 Tablespoon High-Quality Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1/3 Heaping Cup Dried Cranberries
2 Tablespoons Sliced Green Onion (scallion), both White and Green parts
Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground pepper
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Put the pecans on a baking sheet and roast untily lightly browned about 10 minutes (I did only 6 minutes, at 10, they burned).
Let cool, then roughly chop the pecans or break into pieces by hand.
Cook the wild rice according to the package directions (I bought the wild rice at Trader Joes in a package that only took 5 minutes to cook!!!)
When the rice is tender, drain and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the olive oil, dried cranberries, pecans and green onion. Season with kosher salt and pepper to taste (you definately need the salt!!!!!!!!!)
It was very good! I made a second batch for FI so he can take some to work tomorrow!
