Cranberry Pecan Wild Rice

Are you looking for a tasty side dish for Thanksgiving? This rice dish was so good. I made a herbed turkey breast on the grill that I had brined and smoked. I’ll be posting that recipe later this week so be sure to come back for it.

I bought the rice shown here at Trader Joe’s. Any wild rice will do, just be sure to cook for the time it says on the package. Most of the wild rices I see may take longer than the 25 minutes this one takes.
