Apple Walnut Brown Rice Stuffing / Dressing

I made this stuffing as an alternative to bread stuffing this year for the Holidays. The nuttiness of the brown rice goes really nice with the apples, walnuts and sage! Add dried cranberries for some extra tart-sweetness and color :)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Rinse the rice in a fine colander and let drain for 15 minutes.

* Step 2

Peel and chop the apples. Slice the celery thin and mince the onion. Lightly toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan on medium low heat (be careful not to burn!) then crush.

* Step 3

Melt butter in a heavy sauce pan or pot. Saute the onions until soft (about 5 minutes), then add the celery, apples, sage, rosemary and bit of salt & pepper. Saute until the apples are tender.

* Step 4

Pour the rice in the pot and mix it with the other ingredients.

* Step 5

Add the broth and bring to a boil. Cover and turn to low heat. Let cook for 45 minutes or until broth is absorbed. Stop the heat and let it sit with the lid on for 15 minutes.
