Persian-Flavored Wild Rice Salad

Recipe #293356 | 1 hour | 15 min prep | add private note

By: Sass Smith
Mar 21, 2008

This is a recipe of my own, using flavor combinations from Iran and west-central Asia (not flavored with actual Persians, as the title might seem to suggest). Pomegranate syrup is available in Middle Eastern stores; there is also a product sold by Trader Joe's called "Pomegranate Glaze" which would work, too. If you feel that the syrup is too tart, you could add a tiny amount of sugar to smooth it out a bit. Walnut oil could also be substituted for the olive oil.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Cook wild rice according to package directions, substituting stock for water. Cool to room temperature.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, gently dry-toast the walnuts in a skillet, keeping a close eye on them. This should take 10 or so minutes.
  3. 3
    Toss the cooled rice with oil, then syrup. Salt to taste.
  4. 4
    Garnish with toasted walnuts.
