Wild Rice with Rosemary and Cashew Stuffing
Description
Essentially, this is a rice pilaf that I have modified ever-so-slightly to be used as a stuffing for a small roasting chicken. The type of nuts, mushroom, and herbs can be varied in any number of ways.
Ingredients
•
1 teaspoon olive oil
•
1/2 cup onion, chopped
•
1/2 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
•
1 cup chopped cashews
•
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
•
1 3/4 cups chicken stock
•
1 cup long grain and wild rice mix
Directions
1
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onions until tender and translucent. Stir in mushrooms, and saute until soft. Add rosemary, and cook for 1 minute. Stir in cashews, and cook for 1 minute. Transfer to a medium saucepan.

Pour in chicken stock, and stir in rice. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until water is absorbed. Remove from heat, and let stand for 5 minutes. Stuff into the cavity of a small roasting chicken.
