INSTRUCTIONS
In a medium saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Add wild rice to boiling
broth. Bring back to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and cook, covered,
for 50 minutes or until rice is tender. Do not overcook. Remove to a large
bowl.
While the rice is cooking, in another saucepan bring about 2 1/4 cups water
to a boil. Stir in the pilaf, cover and bring back to a boil. Reduce heat
to low and simmer 15 minutes, or until pilaf is tender. Remove from heat,
let rest 15 minutes, and add to the (cooked) wild rice. Add remaining
ingredients and toss well. Serve at room temperature.

from the Sunday magazine of the local paper, I served it last year for
Christmas dinner, and it's very good.
