Wild Rice with Orange Zest Recipe
"It's easy to make this delicious wild rice side dish for everyday or company with just 2 ingredients on hand"
| Take a simple side dish of rice from faded to fabulous with just a dash of orange zest.
I like to pair this simple vegetarian recipe with the either the broccoli casserole or else the spinach and artichoke casserole. Both work well to keep your meal balanced.
Everyone thinks it tastes so exotic, but to tell the truth, this healthy side dish is so quick and easy to make. |
Since wild rice takes a bit longer to steam than other rices, you can have a casserole going in the oven and they will be done at the same time.
I have often used my rice cooker for this recipe, and in no time the scent of sweet orange rice recipe fills the kitchen and brings them to the table ... fast!
