Wild Rice Stuffing
Wild Rice Stuffing a perfect choice for the Thanksgiving table. This nutty tasting, chewy black grain is native to the lakes and rivers of the states bordering the Northern USA and Canada, and sacred to the region’s native peoples. Although not technically rice, it is a close cousin, and a healthy choice. Like brown rice, wild rice is rich in vitamins and minerals, but it is lower on the glycemic index and higher in protein; in fact, it has more protein than quinoa. Its only drawback is price. Being a rarer, less cultivated grain than regular rice, wild rice is more expensive, but the Holidays are the perfect moment to indulge in something so special, and this is the perfect dish to deliciously honor it.
