Recipe Introduction
"Wild pecan rice is a long-grain rice with a nutty aroma and flavor reminiscent of native pecans in the south Louisiana countryside where it is grown. It's available in most large supermarkets, but if you can't find it you can substitute another aromatic rice such as basmati or jasmine."
