Wild Rice Stuffing with Pecans

Valentina

This Wild Rice Stuffing is a holiday favorite. Nutty wild rice and brown rice combine with dried cranberries, scallions, pecans, and sautéed shiitake mushrooms for a crowd-pleasing side dish. Any leftovers can convert into an equally delicious Sweet Potato Lentil Loaf.

  • 6 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 scallions, chopped (white and light green parts only)
  • 1/2 cup pecans, toasted
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds (optional, for topping)

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Cook the wild rice according to package directions (or as outlined in Note 1). Measure out 2.5 cups of cooked rice blend.
  2. Step 2: Toast the pecans in a dry pan for 3 to 4 minutes, or until fragrant. Shake the pan often. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until soft, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the scallions and cook an additional 1 minute. Set aside.

Recipe Notes

Note 1: Use a store-bought wild rice blend or make your own blend by combining 1/2 cup of dry brown rice + 1/2 cup of dry wild rice in a rice cooker. Use the water setting indicated for brown rice (about 2 cup of water). Alternatively, cook the rice blend over a stovetop with 2.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 40 minutes or until the rice has absorbed the water.
