Wild Rice Stuffing with Pine Nuts

This wild rice stuffing with pine nuts is a fragrant and sophisticated alternative to traditional bread-based versions. Combining the nutty texture of wild rice with fluffy long-grain white rice, the dish is elevated by aromatic cumin, fresh thyme and a bright burst of lemon juice. The addition of toasted pine nuts provide a delicate crunch, while the tomato purée and garlic lend a deep, savoury base that complements a wide range of roast meats.

As a naturally dairy-free and gluten-free side dish, this recipe is an excellent choice for inclusive entertaining. Whether you are looking for a wholesome accompaniment to a Sunday roast or a vibrantly flavoured base for a vegetarian main, this rice blend offers a satisfying complexity. Serve it warm from the pan, garnished with plenty of fresh Italian parsley for a hit of forest-green colour.
