Active Time:
Total Time:

Ingredients

2 cups wild rice (you can substitute long grain brown rice or use a mix of both)

2 onions, finely chopped

1 bunch celery, chopped

4 cups crushed, toasted walnuts

juice from 2 pomegranates (optional)

salt, pepper, fresh thyme and majoram and/or paprika to taste

Directions

1. Cook wild rice in six cups water until done (about 45 minutes - wait 10 minutes to add brown rice).
2. Heat olive oil in pan until it shimmers, then add onion and sauté until softened. Add celery and continue to cook until onions are translucent.
3. Add the pomegranate juice (or 3/4 cup liquid from cooking rice) and simmer until vegetables are almost tender.
4. Add walnuts and seasoning and simmer until liquid evaporates.
5. Transfer to large bowl and stir in rice.

This is more a formula than a recipe, in that everything can be adjusted.
