Measure | Ingredient |
---|---|
1 cup | Long-grain wild rice |
2½ cup | Chicken stock |
1 medium | Bay leaf |
1 tablespoon | Orange zest |
1 \N | Clove |
¼ teaspoon | Salt |
¼ teaspoon | Pepper |
2 \N | Leeks, washed and trimmed |
4 \N | Blood oranges, peeled |
1 tablespoon | Canola oil |
1 teaspoon | Sugar |
Place the rice in a fine sieve and pick over it. Rinse well under cold running water. Drain.
Bring the stock to a boil in a large, heavy saucepan. Add the rice, bay leaf, orange zest, clove, salt and pepper. Reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 45 min to 1 hour. Drain any extra cooking liquid. Cover and let stand 10 min.
Cut the leeks into crosswise rounds, about 1/16-inch thick. Segment the oranges over a bowl, reserving any juice that falls into the bowl.
Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and saute for 2 min. Add the oranges and saute for 1 min more.
Add any reserved orange juice and the sugar, stirring well. Let the mixture cool slightly, then fold into the wild rice and serve.
