Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
1 cup chopped shallots (about 4 large)
1 cup chopped celery (about 3 stalks)
2 cups wild rice (about 12 ounces)
4 1/2 cups (or more) low-salt chicken broth
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1 cup long-grain brown rice
1 1/2 cups red seedless grapes (about 8 ounces)
1 1/2 cups green seedless grapes (about 8 ounces)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 cups walnuts, toasted, chopped
1 tablespoon finely grated orange peel

Steps:

  • Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and celery. Cook until soft, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes. Add wild rice, 4 1/2 cups broth, thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt; bring to simmer. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 30 minutes. Add brown rice, cover, and simmer until rice is tender but firm, adding more broth by 1/4 cupfuls if dry, about 40 minutes longer. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly; cover and chill. Rewarm over medium-low heat before using, adding more broth by 1/4 cupfuls if dry.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F. Place grapes on rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with oil; toss. Roast grapes until beginning to wrinkle, about 15 minutes. Transfer to bowl; toss with vinegar. DO AHEAD: Can be made 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
  • Add grapes and any juices, walnuts, and orange peel to hot rice; toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

The roasted grapes were a bit too sweet for me. I think I would use red grapes instead of green next time.

This dressing was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more broth or olive oil next time.

This was the perfect side dish for our roasted turkey. It was light and flavorful, and it helped to balance out the richness of the meat.

I substituted dried cranberries for the grapes and it turned out great! Will definitely be making this again.
