WILD RICE PILAF
Steps:
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan, add the onion, and cook over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until translucent. Add 5 cups of water, 2 teaspoons of salt, and the wild rice. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to very low, and simmer, covered, for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the rice is tender. Drain well.

HERBED BASMATI RICE
Steps:
- Combine the rice, 1 3/4 cups water, the salt, and butter in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat to low, stir once, and simmer, covered tightly, for 15 minutes. (I need to pull the pot half off the burner to keep it from boiling over.) Turn off the heat and allow the rice to sit covered for 5 minutes. Add the parsley, dill, scallions, and pepper. Fluff with a fork, and serve warm.

CAMPARI ORANGE SPRITZER ( INA GARTEN BACK TO BASICS )
This drink is for a lighter Italian drink to serve at lunch, brunch or anytime you don't want a full cocktail but want some delicious flavors. It comes from Ina Garten's Back To Basics cookbook 2008. This was also on one of her love episodes. It is a lighter version of the evening cocktail she makes with the same liquor Campari. Campari is unique taste and bitter so have some ginger ale in reserve if you have guests with sweet teeth. See my note below. A great brunch would be Recipe #412494 and this. Enjoy! ChefDLH

Steps:
- Place the ice cubes in a highball glass. Add the Campari, orange juice, and sparkling water. Add a slice of fresh orange and serve ice cold.
- NOTE: Campari is a strong flavor. If you are more into sweetness substitute in ginger ale for the Pellegrino water to make it more to your taste.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your dish.
- Don't overcook the rice. Wild rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
- Toast the pecans before adding them to the rice. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Add the oranges and cranberries just before serving. This will help them retain their bright color and flavor.
- Serve the rice warm. This dish is best enjoyed when it is served warm, so make sure to reheat it if necessary.
Conclusion:
Orange Pecan Wild Rice is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a simple side dish or a more festive dish for a special occasion, Orange Pecan Wild Rice is a great option.
