Follow The Directions

01

Step

Cook the brown rice according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and set aside. (Approximately 30-45 minutes)

02

Step

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dried cranberries, orange peel, and chicken stock. Microwave on high for 2 minutes to plump the cranberries and infuse the stock with flavor.

03

Step

In a large saucepan or skillet, melt butter or heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add celery, shallots, and poultry seasoning. Sauté for 3 minutes, or until the celery and shallots are softened and fragrant.

04

Step

Stir in the cranberry mixture, toasted pecans, and chopped parsley. Add the cooked brown rice and mix well to combine.

05

Step

Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 3 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed and the stuffing is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock.
To toast the pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Alternatively, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
This stuffing can be prepared a day ahead of time. Store it in the refrigerator and reheat before serving. Add a splash of chicken stock if it seems dry.
For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable stock for chicken stock.
