BlueMoose's confetti wild rice--review

[mandarin2j]

I was looking for a wild rice recipe and found this one that BlueMoose posted back in November. I couldn't find any reviews on this, so I thought I'd share.

Not sure where it's from originally, but it's fantastic! The thing I love about wild rice is its nutty flavor and chewy texture, and this dish was no exception. Having so much broccoli in the dish itself took care of any need for a veggie side dish. With just salt, pepper, and lemon juice for seasoning, I was surprised at how flavorful it turned out to be.

Definitely a repeater! We had our rice with grilled salmon filets (seasoned with Wendy w's fantastic spice rub ) for a simple, healthy meal.

I haven't made that for a long time. I should make it again. It's one of those recipes that I've had for so long, I can't even remember when or where I got it. Here it is for anyone who's interested...:)

Do you have the nutritional info on this dish?

This is embarassing, but I am plugging all of my foods into the website fitday.com to make sure I am staying within my guidelines. Of course I'm getting all obsesso about it, and not wanting to cook anything unless I can plug it in!!

Thanks!

p.s. As I typed this, a grateful client just brought a box of Godiva chocolate into my office!! Help!! I will pass it right off to DH tonight, who of course won't gain an ounce.
