Minnesota Real Wild Rice Stuffing

The nutty flavor of wild rice makes a great combo with dried apricots, pine nuts, and traditional ingredients. I combined some recipes and the result was eagerly consumed. When I made this I fully cooked the rice. This is a forgiving and flexible recipe. There are so many different things to add or substitute: walnuts, almonds, orange zest, dried cranberries, mushrooms, more bread, whatever you prefer.

Step: 1

Bring 8 cups chicken broth and wild rice to a boil in a saucepan; reduce heat and simmer until rice is partially tender, about 30 minutes.

Step: 2

Mix partially-cooked wild rice with chicken broth, cranberry-walnut bread, 1 cup chicken broth, celery, water chestnuts, pecans, pine nuts, onion, apple, apricots, and garlic together in a slow cooker.

Step: 3

Cook on Low until wild rice has softened and split, at least 40 more minutes.

One of most obvious way to choose a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick something different. If you’re cooking pasta, go for a simple healthy dish . Made steak? Go for something light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to adjust with make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to push more often your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the cooking items . But often you can make a dish do double-duty .
