BROWN RICE AND PECAN STUFFING



Brown Rice And Pecan Stuffing image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     side dish

Time 45m

Yield About 8 cups, enough for a 12-pound turkey

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried sage
2 cups raw brown rice
3 1/3 cups turkey or chicken stock
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Toast the pecans by tossing them over medium-high heat in a heavy, dry skillet or baking them in a toaster oven until golden brown. Do not allow them to burn. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan. Add the onion and celery and saute over low heat until soft and just beginning to brown. Stir in the thyme, sage and rice. Add the pecans. Add the stock, bring to a boil and boil for two minutes. Lower heat, cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. The rice will still be a little firm, but it will continue cooking when it is stuffed into the poultry.
  • Season the mixture with parsley, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use to stuff the turkey. When stuffing, do not pack the mixture tightly because the rice will continue to expand.

Tips:

  • If you don't have any pecans, you can use walnuts or almonds instead.

  • To reheat the stuffing, place it in a baking dish and cover it with foil. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, or until heated through.
