Makes 4 generous servings.

This rice is tasty, crunchy and nutritious. I prefer to serve it warm on a bed of dressed greens.

INGREDIENTS:

  • ½ cup wild rice 

  • ½ cup brown rice

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 1/3 cup water

  • 1 tablespoon extra -virgin olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

  • ½  teaspoon sumac

  • ¼ cup unsweetened dried cranberries

  • ½ cup tightly packed flat leaf parsley, coarsely chopped

  • ¼ cup blanched, sliced almonds

PREPARATION:

  1. Combine the rice and place in a heavy saucepan, add water and salt.  Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and cook covered for about one hour, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.

  2. Fluff with a fork and add the olive oil, lemon juice, sumac, dried cranberries, parsley, and almonds.

  3. Season to taste with sumac, lemon juice and salt.
