A friend cooked this at our weekly poker game and it was wonderful! I made it for a few other friends and they said it was the best rice they’ve ever had!
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups water, divided
- ½ cup wild rice
- ¼ cup brown rice
- 1 cup pitted and sliced cherries
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
- ½ cup sliced celery
- 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
Directions
Step 1
Bring 2 cups water and wild rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Drain excess liquid, fluff rice with a fork, and cook uncovered, about 5 minutes more.
Step 2
Bring 1/2 water and brown rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 45 minutes.
Step 3
Combine cherries, brown sugar, and almonds in a large nonstick skillet; cook and stir over medium heat until brown sugar melts and coats cherries and almonds, about 6 minutes. Stir in brown rice, wild rice, celery, orange juice, red wine vinegar, and orange zest. Cook, stirring frequently, until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Cook’s Note:
Substitute frozen cherries for the fresh cherries if desired.
