Autumn Wild Rice with Pecans by Chef

undefined

"As a private chef, I'm always looking for ways to change up a menu and make things interesting. This side dish marries classic flavors in a fresh way. Crunchy, buttery pecans, savory herbs and vegetables with just a hint of sweetness from the maple syrup and fresh grapes make this side dish an instant favorite to accompany poultry or pork." - Chef Sallie

Ingredients

3 Cups chicken broth
1 Cup wild rice
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbs butter
1/4 Cup finely diced onion
1/4 Cup finely diced carrots
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp fresh rosemary, minced
1/4 Cup chopped pecans
1/2 Cup red grapes, quartered
1 Tbs maple syrup
Fresh grated nutmeg, for garnish
Fresh Parsley, finely chopped, for garnish

Directions

  1. Rinse rice well and drain.

  2. Bring chicken broth, wild rice and salt to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes, until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Cover and set aside.

  3. In a skillet over medium heat, add butter, onion and carrots. Cook about 3-5 minutes, until vegetables are tender.

  4. Add thyme, rosemary and pecans, and cook another 5 minutes, until pecans are toasty and fragrant. Remove from heat.

  5. Stir in rice, add maple syrup and adjust salt to taste.

  6. Serve topped with fresh grated nutmeg and chopped parsley.
