TODAY'S RECIPE: WILD RICE AND APPLE CIDER PILAF

 

 

A nifty twist on wild rice. I guarantee comments and compliments.

 

2 cups unsweetened apple cider

1 cup wild rice

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 cup sliced almonds

1/2 cup raisins

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg

salt and pepper to taste

 

In a large saucepan, bring the cider and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil

over a high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a fairly low

temperature and stir in the wild rice. Cover and allow to simmer until

the rice is tender but still firm. This usually takes about 30 to 40

minutes. Once done, strain.

 

In a large skillet over a medium heat, melt the butter and add the

almonds and raisins. Cook, stirring often, until the almonds are a

light brown color.

 

Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt and pepper. Stir in the wild rice

and cook for another 5 minutes.
