Wild Rice With Pecans

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   

1 cup Uncooked Wild Rice
5 1/2 cups Reduced-Sodium Chicken Broth
1 cup Dried Cherries
1 cup Pecan Halves
4 Green Onions, washed, ends removed, thinly sliced
Grated Peel of 1 Orange
1/3 cup Orange Juice
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
Salt
Fresh Ground Black Pepper, to taste

 
   
Preparation:  
   

Place the rice in a strainer and rinse thoroughly under cold water. In a medium, heavy saucepan, place the rice. Add the chicken broth and heat to boiling. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the rice is tender. Drain and place in a bowl. Add the cherries, pecans, green onion, orange peel, orange juice, olive oil and salt and pepper; toss gently. Let stand at least 2 hours for the flavors to develop. Serve at room temperature or heat before serving.
