I have another recipe to share with all of you. My husband came up with this.
We all love it!


Wild Rice With Raisins and Pinenuts
4 Tblspn. Butter
½ large onion or whole small - chopped
1 apple - chopped
¾ cup raisins
½ lemon –juiced
½ c. pine nuts
3-4 c. Wild Rice - already cooked (See bottom of this post for directions)
2-3 Tblspn. chopped cilantro

Sauté onion in butter, ‘till translucent.

Add chopped apple. You can peel it or leave peel on. If you cook an apple with the skin on too long, it may become separated from the apple. (Irritating, but not deadly, that I know of.)

Juice the ½ lemon.

Pour in some raisins.

 Now comes the wild rice. Once you’ve put this in, you’re committed to stirring.
Throw in the pine nuts.

Last but not least, the cilantro. It goes in when everything else is hot. This totally makes it. Fresh cilantro will make this dish “sing”. If you're not a big cilantro fan, you could try fresh basil. It would also go well in this dish.

Once everything is hot, serve it up and enjoy!
Cooking Wild Rice is easy.
2 c. Wild Rice
3 c. water
(Pan with a lid)

Put water and wild rice in the pan. Turn heat to high. Wait for it to start boiling. As soon as it starts to boil, put the lid on and turn the heat to as low as it will go without going off. Set your timer for 25 min. Go do something else until your timer goes off. Don't lift the lid. I know you will be tempted to peak, but don't, it lets out precious steam. When your timer goes off, turn off the heat. remove pan to a cool burner or to a trivet. DON'T lift the lid yet. let it set for another 10 minutes. Now you can start getting the rest of this yummy recipe together. :) When your timer goes off after the additional 10 minutes,
"you may now lift the lid". :) It should be sort of a soft-chewy, just starting to split open. Enjoy!
