1 cup short-grain brown rice
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup Riesling or Chenic Blanc, divided
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter, divided
3/4 cup slivered dried apricot
3/4 cup quartered pitted prune
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons crumbled dried sweet basil
1/2 teaspoon crumbled thyme

1/4 cup chopped parsley

Steps:

  • In a 3-quart saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, combine rice, chicken stock, 1/2 cup of the wine, salt, and 1 tablespoon butter. Bring to a boil. Lower heat until liquid is just simmering. Cover and simmer about 1 hour without removing lid. When liquid has evaporated, remove from heat and allow to steam, covered, for 10-15 minutes. Fluff rice with fork. Meanwhile, place apricots in small pot. Top with prunes and remaining 1/2 cup of wine, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in skillet. Add celery, onions, basil and thyme. Sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add to rice, along with cooled fruits, walnuts and parsley. Toss well to combine. Spoon into buttered baking dish, cover, and heat in 325° oven for 30 minutes before serving.
