Yield 4=6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup of converted or long grain rice
1/2 cup of long grain wild rice
1 cup of chopped pecans
1 cup of golden raisins
Zest of one large orange
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
4 scallions thinly sliced
2-3 tbs olive oil
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1-2 tbs balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp salt or to taste
freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cook long grain rice according to package directions, use slightly less water than recommended. Bring 2-3 cups of water to a boil in a sauce pan until kernels split open and rice is tender but not mushy. It may not absorb all the water. Drain and let cool. In a bowl mix the rices together and the remaining ingredients. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Let mixture stand for at least 2 hours to let flavors blend. Serve at room temperature
