What You'll Need

1 1/3 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (2.75-ounce) package quick-cooking wild rice
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or 1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

What to Do

In a medium saucepan, bring broth, butter, and salt to a boil .
Add rice; cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 5 minutes, or until rice is tender. Drain off excess liquid. Fluff with a fork.
Add remaining ingredients to rice; toss gently to combine.

Notes

For a more pronounced citrus flavor, toss a teaspoon of grated orange rind (zest) into the rice. Just gently rub a clean orange against a fine grater or zester. Be careful to remove just the colored skin and not the white pith, which tends to be very bitter.
