Wild Rice, Fruit, and Pecan Stuffing

This wild rice stuffing with fruit and pecans is a sophisticated, high-protein alternative to traditional bread-based sides. Combining the earthy chew of wild rice with the tart sweetness of dried apricots and cranberries, it offers a wonderful balance of textures. It is an excellent choice for a Sunday roast or a festive centrepiece, providing a naturally gluten-free option that feels both indulgent and wholesome.

The inclusion of toasted pecans and fresh celery heart adds a delightful crunch, while the golden raisins provide subtle honeyed notes. This versatile dish works beautifully alongside roast poultry or as a substantial vegetarian main. Because the rice can be prepared a day in advance, it is a practical choice for busy entertaining, leaving you more time to focus on your guests while the flavours develop overnight.

Ingredients for Wild Rice, Fruit, and Pecan Stuffing

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 large celery stalks, finely chopped

  • 160g finely chopped onion

  • 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced

  • 350ml wild rice

  • 475ml low-salt chicken or turkey broth

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more

  • 90g (90g) pecans

  • 60g dried cranberries

  • 30g (about 90g ) dried apricots, coarsely chopped

  • 40g (about 70g ) golden raisins

  • Nymalen svartpeppar

  • 60g (about 110g ) fresh cranberries, thinly sliced

  • 150g thinly sliced small celery stalks (from celery heart)

  • 1/2 cup celery leaves from celery heart, coarsely chopped

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped celery and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and almost translucent, about 8 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add wild rice; stir for 1 minute. Add broth, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon salt, and 350ml water; increase heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Uncover, stir, and continue cooking, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, 20-40 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 163°C. Spread out pecans on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast until fragrant, 5-7 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Store nuts airtight at room temperature. Let stuffing cool, then cover and chill. Rewarm over medium heat, adding water by tablespoonfuls if too dry, before continuing.

Discard bay leaf. Stir in dried cranberries, apricots, and raisins. Let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Season rice to taste with salt and pepper. Fold pecans, sliced cranberries, and sliced celery into mixture. Garnish with celery leaves.
