"Realsimpledotcom continues to provide me w/intriguing recipes. I esp like this one since it's a good yr-rd side-dish option (esp to accompany chicken), but is also well-suited for the holiday season w/it's use of cranberries. It could also easily be made into wild rice stuffing for those who favor that genre of holiday dressing. ENJOY!"

A little while back I bought a lot of wild rice and have been looking for ways to use it. This was a perfect choice, and especially nice to add some dried cranberries. My wild rice took 50 minutes to cook. I made half of a recipe because there were just two of us. There are plenty of delicious leftovers for tomorrow.

Delicious! A perfect accompaniment to our New Year's Eve brisket. We really loved the flavor which was enhanced by the mushrooms and tarragon and the cranberries, of course. Will definitely keep this recipe handy. This would make a great Company side dish.
