Sunflower Seed Wild Rice Pilaf
Ingredients:
4 cup chicken broth
1 cup wild rice, rinsed well
1 3/4 cup wheat pilaf
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup cranberries, dried
1 scallion bunch, thinly sliced
1/2 cup Italian parsley, chopped
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
1 zest of 2 oranges, grated
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 black pepper, freshly ground
Preparation:
In a medium saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Add wild rice to boiling broth. Bring back to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and cook, covered, for 50 minutes or until rice is tender. Do not over cook. Remove to a large bowl.
While the rice is cooking, in another saucepan bring about 2 1/4 cups water to a boil. Stir in the pilaf, cover and bring back to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes, or until pilaf is tender. Remove from heat, let rest 15 minutes, and add to the (cooked) wild rice. Add remaining ingredients and toss well.
