WILD RICE AND TOASTED PECAN PILAF



Wild Rice and Toasted Pecan Pilaf image

Categories     Onion     Rice     Side     Bake     Pecan     Bell Pepper     Gourmet     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup pecan halves, chopped coarse
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large onion, halved lengthwise and sliced thin lengthwise
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into julienne strips
1/4 cup olive oil
2 1/2 cups wild rice (about 1 pound), rinsed well in several changes of water and drained
4 1/2 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a small baking pan toss the pecans with the butter, the thyme, and the salt until they are coated well and toast them in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes, or until they are crisp and fragrant.
  • In a flameproof casserole cook the onion and the bell pepper in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until they are just softened, and with a slotted spoon transfer them to a bowl. Add the rice to the casserole and cook it, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in the broth, heated to boiling, and salt and pepper to taste and bring the mixture to a boil. Bake the mixture, covered, in the middle of the oven for 40 minutes. Stir in the onion mixture, bake the pilaf, covered, for 30 minutes more, or until the rice is tender and the broth has been absorbed, and stir in the pecans.

Tips:

  • Choose the right wild rice: Long-grain wild rice is the most commonly used type in cooking, as it retains its shape and texture well. Short-grain wild rice, on the other hand, is more tender and has a chewier texture.
  • Rinse the wild rice thoroughly before cooking: This helps to remove any dirt or debris that may be present.
  • Use a large pot for cooking wild rice: Wild rice expands significantly during cooking, so it's important to use a pot that is large enough to accommodate the expansion.
  • Cook the wild rice according to package directions: Generally, wild rice takes about 45-60 minutes to cook.
  • Let the wild rice rest before serving: After cooking, let the wild rice rest for about 5 minutes before fluffing it with a fork. This helps to prevent the rice from becoming sticky.
  • Experiment with different seasonings: Wild rice has a nutty flavor that pairs well with a variety of seasonings. Try adding herbs, spices, or other flavorings to your wild rice dish to create a unique and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Wild rice is a delicious and healthy grain that can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes. Its nutty flavor and chewy texture make it a great addition to salads, soups, pilafs, and more. With its high fiber and protein content, wild rice is also a nutritious choice that can help you feel full and satisfied. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful grain to add to your meal, give wild rice a try!
