"Living in northern Wisconsin, wild rice and cranberries are easy to come by for us. I use broken wild rice rather than whole grains - much cheaper and just as tasty! This can be served hot or at room temperature."

This was perfect for a side to pork chops. I served mine hot. I have used dried cranberries in wild rice before, but never pine nuts. Nice addition.

What a delicious side dish to go with our salmon and shrimp tonight. Loved the addition of the pine nuts and dried cranberries (I also added a few dried cherries as well - just because I had them). The cooking time was perfect. I'll be making this dish again soon.

Made as written for the FF&F "Think Pink" event until just @ the very end when I discovered I had no pine nuts. So I subbed pistachios & we dined happily. This was very good & IMO would nicely compliment almost any main meat course. We ate it w/ribs & an avocado/tomato side-salad. Siggi has already asked for an encore of this recipe = A good sign since he's usually a tough audience for new recipes. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us for this special event. :-)
