How to Incorporate Seggiano Wild Red Rice into Your Cooking

Some Recipe Ideas for Using Wild Red Rice

• - Wild Rice Salad with Grilled Vegetables: while the rice cooks, cut vegetables like bell peppers, zucchinis, and onions into large pieces and grill them until they are tender and slightly golden. Mix the grilled vegetables with the cooked rice, add fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro, season with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and serve at room temperature;
• - Wild Rice with Mushrooms and Garlic: sauté sliced mushrooms and minced garlic in a pan with some olive oil until they are golden and tender. Incorporate the mushrooms into the cooked rice, add chopped fresh parsley, grated Parmesan, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste;
• - Wild Rice with Beans and Spices: simmer beans (such as black beans or red beans) with spices like cumin, paprika, and chili powder until they are tender and well-seasoned. Mix the cooked beans into the cooked rice, add a bit of fresh lemon juice, chopped fresh cilantro, and serve hot;
• - Wild Rice with Dried Fruits and Orange: dry roast nuts like almonds or hazelnuts in a skillet until they are golden and fragrant. Add dried fruits such as cranberries or dried apricots to the cooked rice, along with grated orange zest and fresh orange juice. Sprinkle roasted nuts on top and serve hot as a side with poultry or a vegetarian dish.
