- 1.5 cups wild rice
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 yellow onion
- 2 celery stalks
- 2 Granny Smith apples
- 2 tbsp fresh sage
- 0.75 cup dried cranberries
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
How to make Hearty Wild Rice, Apple, and Sage Dressing
- Rinse 1.5 cups wild rice thoroughly under cold running water in a fine-mesh sieve. This helps remove any excess starch and debris.
- Combine the rinsed wild rice and 4 cups vegetable broth in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has just burst open. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.
- While the rice cooks, melt 4 tbsp unsalted butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 diced yellow onion and 2 diced celery stalks to the skillet.
- Sauté the onion and celery for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and translucent but not browned.
- Add 2 diced Granny Smith apples to the skillet with the softened vegetables. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring, until the apples are slightly tender but still hold their shape.
- Stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh sage, 0.75 cup dried cranberries, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes longer to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add the cooked wild rice to the skillet with the vegetable and apple mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Transfer the wild rice dressing to a 9x13-inch baking dish. You can serve it directly from the skillet or dish, or bake it for a slightly crisper texture.
- If baking, cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until heated through and lightly golden on top. Serve hot.
