Prepare this unique side dish of wild rice with pine nuts and lemon for a special occasion. We use pure wild rice, not a blend. It takes much longer to cook than traditional rice, but the results are worth the wait. The pilaf is incredibly aromatic, with a rich, nutty flavor and a fresh citrus note.

Recipes with similar ingredients: wild rice, pine nuts, lemon zest, thyme
Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add pine nuts, garlic, zest, and thyme. Swirl the pan until the nuts and garlic begin to brown, about 2 minutes.
- Add the wild rice and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Taste the rice and, if necessary, continue cooking until done, adding more liquid as needed, for another 10–15 minutes. If the rice begins to curl, it is overcooked.
- Remove from heat, sprinkle with green onions, stir with a fork, and remove the green onion sprigs and lemon zest before serving. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
