    > 1 bay leaf
    > 3/4 cup wild rice
    3/4 cup long-grain white rice
    3 tablespoons margarine
    2 cups chopped ham (about 3/4 pound)
    1 1/2 cups chopped onions
    1 1/2 cups chopped celery with leaves
    1 large bunch collard greens, sliced
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram or 2 teaspoons dried

    Melt margarine in heavy large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add ham, onions and celery and sauté until onions are tender, about 10 minutes. Add collard greens and marjoram and sauté until greens wilt, about 3 minutes. Add mixture to rice. Mix in bread cubes stuffing, pecans and nutmeg. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
