The nutty flavor of wild rice makes a great combo with dried apricots, pine nuts, and traditional ingredients. I combined some recipes and the result was eagerly consumed. When I made this I fully cooked the rice. This is a forgiving and flexible recipe. There are so many different things to add or substitute: walnuts, almonds, orange zest, dried cranberries, mushrooms, more bread, whatever you prefer.

I really really wanted to like this rice more and I think I'll try it again with a few changes. I made Cranberry Walnut Bread from this site so I could make this rice and I let the slices dry out as much as they could. But when I added the bread the rice became gummy. I used mushrooms rather than water chestnuts and I omitted the pine nuts (until the price comes down) but otherwise followed the recipe. I'll make this again because I do like the other ingredients with the rice. Read More

This was a very good stuffing recipe for Minnesota wild rice. I served it alongside pork chops for dinner. You can add or delete items according to your taste and creativity. The recipe looked huge so I halved it and it was just right. I think next time I will add some butter and maybe some sage for added flavor but it's a keeper! Read More

I loved this recipe. It’s smart doing it in a slow cooker so it doesn’t dry out. I used celery, onion, mushrooms and pecans instead of cranberries.... it was so good! We will make it again. Read More

I didn't like this at all. The only changes I made were no pine nuts and I used plain gluten-free bread with a handful of craisins and walnuts instead of cranberry-walnut bread. The texture was strange and the flavor of the wild rice completely over shadowed all the other ingredients. There are enough good dressing recipes that I won't try this one again. Read More
