Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 shallot, finely chopped (1/4 cup) 1 cup wild rice 3 cups homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock 1/2 cup pecans 1/4 cup dried cranberries 1/4 cup golden raisins, coarsely chopped 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes. Add rice, and cook for 1 minute. Add chicken stock, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until rice is tender and starting to burst, 45 to 50 minutes. Drain any excess liquid. Transfer to a bowl.

While rice cooks, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange pecans on a rimmed baking sheet, and toast until browned and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Let cool. Coarsely chop pecans.

Add toasted pecans, cranberries, raisins, and parsley to rice. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       10/21/2019   This is a delicious and easy side dish. I have made it with pecans as well as chopped raw almonds. I used 365 organic broth, which says it has less sodium than others but isn't specifically "low-sodium." So good!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/20/2014   This was delicious! I made it for a potluck at work, and worried it would get overlooked by other, flashier menu items, but I had several people come up to me afterwards to say how much they liked it and ask for the recipe. I will say, I doubled the amount of dried fruit and nuts, but I'm sure it would be great either way. I also did half wild rice and half brown rice, just because I didn't have enough wild rice on hand. Will definitely make this again.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       10/15/2014   I used a brown and wild rice blend. Dried apricots and cherries or cranberries. I left out the pecans, though I think they'd be wonderful, but they would be mushy in leftovers. Love this recipe.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/19/2013   Fresh and delicious. The sweetness of the raisin goes well with the tartness of the cranberry and the parsley adds a freshness to it. I served it with grilled chicken and a raw kale salad that also had cranberries and pine nuts. I had a bit of everything left over so i mixed it all together and had a supper yummy salad for lunch the next day.
