A simply flavoured pilaf makes a great backdrop for both the roast turkey and the vegetarian stew.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup wild rice
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 3 cups basmati rice
- 2 cups spinach leaves, finely chopped
- 1 cup toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Preparation
In saucepan of boiling salted water, cook wild rice until tender, about 40 minutes; drain and set aside.
In separate saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat; cook onion and white part of green onion, bay leaf, salt and pepper until softened and just beginning to turn golden, about 5 minutes.
Stir in basmati rice; cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
Stir in 3-1/2 cups (875 mL) water; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until no liquid remains and rice is tender, 12 to 14 minutes. Turn off heat.
