Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Wild Rice and Apple Dressing.
Step 1
To start your delicious dish, grab a large saucepan or a rice cooker and combine the brown rice with water.
Step 2
Bring it to a lively boil, then cover it up and lower the heat to let it simmer gently.
Step 3
Set a timer for 20 minutes, and while you wait, take a moment to enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen.
Step 4
Once the timer goes off, stir in the instant wild rice and let everything simmer together, covered, for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
Step 5
Next, let’s get that oven preheating to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
While it warms up, spread your bread cubes on a baking sheet and sprinkle them with sage, thyme, and garlic powder.
Step 7
Pop them in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until they’re lightly toasted and the spices are wafting through the air, making your mouth water.
Step 8
Once they’re done, set them aside to cool just a bit, but keep that oven on because we’re not finished yet! In a large bowl, combine those fragrant toasted bread cubes with grated celery, carrots, onion, and chopped apples.
Step 9
This mix adds a wonderful crunch and sweetness to your dish.
Step 10
Gently fold in the cooked rice, ensuring everything is evenly distributed for a perfect bite every time.
Step 11
Now, transfer this delightful mixture into a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish, and pour the chicken broth evenly over the top, allowing it to soak in all that flavor.
Step 12
Cover the dish with aluminum foil to keep everything nice and moist.
Step 13
Now it’s time to bake! Place your dish in the preheated oven and let it bake for 30 minutes, or until it’s heated through and the flavors have melded beautifully.
Step 14
If you’re craving a crispy top, simply remove the foil and let it bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Step 15
The result will be a warm, comforting dish that’s perfect for sharing with family and friends.
Step 16
Enjoy every delicious bite!.
