How to Make Wild Rice Dried Fruit And Toasted Hazelnut Stuffing

  1. Melt 3 tablespoons of margarine in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, finely chopped, and a pinch of sugar. Sauté, stirring frequently, until onions are caramelized, about 7-10 minutes.
  3. Transfer caramelized onions to a large bowl.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of margarine to the skillet and melt.
  5. Add 2 celery stalks, finely chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Transfer celery and garlic to the bowl with the onions.
  7. Add the following ingredients to the bowl and gently toss to combine: 1 cup wild rice, 1 cup dried cranberries, 1/2 cup dried tart cherries, 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts (roughly chopped), 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped fresh sage, 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (or herb blend of choice), salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 1 hour, or until heated through and slightly browned on top. If baking alongside poultry, adjust cooking time as needed.
