Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2/3 cup wild rice -- rinsed

2/3 cup long-grain brown rice -- rinsed

1 teaspoon seasoned salt

2 tablespoons Margarine -- reduced-fat

1 cup Red Onion -- chopped

1/2 cup Celery -- finely diced

2 medium Granny Smith apples -- peeled, cored, and diced

1/3 cup Orange Juice -- (from 1 large orange)

2 scallions -- green parts only, thinly sliced

1/4 cup currants

1 Dash Cinnamon

1 Dash Nutmeg

Freshly Ground Pepper -- to taste

2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley -- minced

1/2 cup Pecans -- finely chopped

 

Bring 3 3/4 cups of water to a simmer in a large saucepan. Stir in the wild and

brown rice and the seasoned salt, return to a boil, then lower the heat and

simmer, covered, until the water is absorbed, about 40 minutes. Heat the

margarine in a very large skillet. Add the onion and celery and sauté until the

onion is golden. Add the apple and sauté another 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked

rice mixture along with the juice, scallions, currants, and spices. Season to

taste with pepper. Sauté over low heat, stirring frequently, another 5 minutes.

This may be done somewhat ahead of time to this point, then left covered off the

heat until needed. Just before serving, heat through, adding a bit more liquid

if the mixture needs it, then stir in the parsley and pecans. Mound in the

center of a large serving platter and surround with the stuffed peppers, above.
