ORANGE SCENTED WILD RICE SALAD WITH TOASTED PECANS AND GOLDEN RA

Steps:

• Rinse the rice in a fine strainer. Combine rice and cooking liquid in a large pan, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 30-45 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the rice, you want it to be a little chewy because it will soak up the dressing later. After rice is done cooking, use a fine strainer to rinse rice under cold water. Place rinsed and well-strained rice in a large bowl.
• Toast Pecans in a 375°F oven for 10-12 minutes (reduce time if nuts are chopped), stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Remove from oven, and cool to room temperature.
• To make dressing, in a small bowl mix together orange zest, orange juice, lemon zest, lemon juice, grated garlic and white distilled vinegar (you can also add a little olive oil if desired).
• In the large bowl with rice, combine golden raisins, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, and dressing mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. For best flavor, refrigerate for about 2 hours before serving.
• Mix in toasted pecans immediately before serving so they remain nice and crunchy. Enjoy your healthy and delicious meal!

ORANGE PECAN WILD RICE (INA GARTEN B2B SIDE DISH)

Steps:

• Place the rice, chicken stock, 1 1/4 cups water, 1 tablespoon butter, and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover the pot and lower the heat to simmer ( she pulls the pan halfway off the burner) and cook for about 1 hour, until the rice is tender and the grains begin to burst open. Stir the rice occasionally while it's cooking, scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent it from sticking. Turn off the heat, and allow the rice to steam for about 5 minutes.
• Stir the remaining tablespoon of butter into the rice, then add the grapes, scallions, pecans, orange zest, orange juice, 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper and toss. Taste for seasonings and serve hot.

WILD RICE AND TOASTED PECAN PILAF

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.
