WHITE AND WILD RICE PILAF

Love the nut and cranberry combination in this dish as well as the two kinds of rices. Found it on a bottle of lemon juice from the grocery store, but that doesn't mean you can't use fresh lemon juice instead. Nice side for Thanksgiving. Cooking time includes a little prep time. If you only have fresh pecans, they can be toasted in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes (while rice is cooking). Wild rice and rice pilafs are classic Canadian fare, so I have posted this for Zaar World Tour 2005 (Canadian).

WILD RICE PILAF BAKE



Wild Rice Pilaf Bake image

I make this recipe for almost every holiday and often take it to potlucks. Usually, I make the pilaf ahead to allow the flavors to blend and then reheat it in the microwave before serving. This also makes for more room in the oven and less chaos when you are putting out a big holiday meal. -Dianne Bettin, Truman, Minnesota

Tips:

  • Always rinse the rice before cooking to remove any excess starch and impurities.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or saucepan to cook the rice to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
  • Bring the water or broth to a boil before adding the rice. This will help create fluffy, separate grains of rice.
  • Do not stir the rice while it is cooking. Stirring can break the grains of rice and make the pilaf mushy.
  • Once the rice has come to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for the recommended cooking time. Do not lift the lid during this time.
  • Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
  • For added flavor, toast the rice in a little butter or oil before adding the liquid.
  • Add your favorite vegetables, nuts, or dried fruits to the pilaf for a more flavorful and nutritious dish.
  • Serve the pilaf as a side dish or main course with your favorite protein.
