Ingredients

  • 1 cup wild rice, uncooked
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lb Brussels sprout, trimmed of outer leaves and base, thinly shaved crosswise
  • 1 cup smoked gouda cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup craisins, chopped into smaller bits
  • 1/2 cup almonds, slivered
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  • Prepare rice according to package directions.
  • In large saute pan, heat olive oil on medium. Add brussels sprouts, season with salt and pepper to taste, and saute until tender and lightly browned, 8-10 minutes.
  • In a bowl, stir cooked rice, sprouts, and all other remaining ingredients. Mix until cheese is melted and everything is nicely mixed. If too thick, add a little water to thin it out. Season with more salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Serve warm/right away, 3/4 cup per person.
