Fresh Cranberry and Wild Rice Stuffing
Servings: 4

1/2 cup wild rice, uncooked
1 cup water
1/4 cup raisins, dark or golden
5 scallions, chopped
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup celery, or fennel bulb, chopped
1 cup fresh cranberries
1 tablespoon orange rind-grated
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Put the wild rice in a saucepan. Add the water and raisins and cook over medium heat for 1 hour, or until the rice is tender. Drain. Sauté the onions and celery (or fennel bulb) in the oil until tender. Add the cranberries, orange rind, thyme and rice.

Serve as a side dish; this stuffing goes great with poultry dishes such as Cornish game hen, as well as lighter pork dishes such as pan seared pork loin.
