Ingredients
-
1 1/2 cup brown rice
1/2 cup wild rice
1 quart water, chicken stock or vegetable stock
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small or medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup diced celery
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup red lentils, soaked in cold water to cover for 2 or 3 hours and drained
1 tablespoon finely chopped sage (more to taste)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup toasted almonds, coarsely chopped
Freshly ground pepper
Directions
1. Prepare rice as directed on packages
2. While the rice is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until the onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the celery and a generous pinch of salt, and continue to cook until the onion is completely tender, another 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook, stirring, until it is fragrant, about 30 to 60 seconds. Remove from the heat.
3. Transfer the red and black rices to a large bowl. Add the onion and celery mixture and the remaining ingredients. Stir together, taste and adjust seasonings. Transfer to a lightly oiled or buttered baking dish and cover with foil.
4. Warm the stuffing in a 325-degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
