Angry Trout Wild Rice Salad

Servings: 10
Author: Shawn

Ingredients

  • 2 cups uncooked wild rice
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms stemmed and diced
  • 2 tsp canola oil divided
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup frozen peas
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 Tbs tamari sauce
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans toasted (the original recipe calls for hazelnuts)

Instructions

  • Rinse and drain wild rice. Place wild rice and water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook 30-45 minutes, or until grains are burst, but not soggy. Drain and place in serving bowl. Add peas, salt, and cranberries.
  • In a small skillet over medium-high heat, cook onion and celery in 1 teaspoon of the oil, until tender and just beginning to brown. Add onions and celery to rice and return skillet to the stove.
  • Put the remaining oil in the skillet and turn heat to high. Once oil is very hot, add mushrooms and cook for 2 to 3 minutes without stirring. Stir to turn mushroom pieces over, and cook, without stirring, an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms to the rice.
  • Add tamari sauce and stir to combine. Top with a garnish of chopped pecans.
