Apple & Pecan Wild Rice Pilaf

3 3/4 cup water or broth

2/3 cup wild rice

2/3 cup long grain brown rice

1 tsp. sea salt *

2 T. margarine

1 cup red onion, chopped

1/2 cup celery, diced fine

2 medium tart apples, such as Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and diced

1/3 cup orange juice

2 scallion greens, thinly sliced

1/4 cup currants

dash of cinnamon

dash of nutmeg

freshly ground pepper to taste

2 T. minced fresh parsley

1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Bring the water or broth to a boil in a heavy saucepan. Stir in the wild and brown rice and sea salt (*if using a salted broth, adjust salt accordingly), return to a boil, then lower heat and simmer, covered, until the water is absorbed - about 40 minutes.

Heat margarine in a very large skillet. Add the onion and celery and saute until the onion is golden. Add the apple and saute another 5 minutes.

Stir in the cooked rice mixture along with the juice, scallions, currants, and spices. Season to taste with pepper.

Saute over low heat, stirring frequently, another 5 minutes. Just before serving, heat through, adding a bit more liquid if the mixture needs it, then stir in the parsley and pecans.
