How to Make Wild Rice and Cherry Pilaf
This nutty and slightly sweet salad pairs well with roasted pork loin or pork chops. Wild rice is a whole grain, long cooking rice that is a good source of fiber and contains some protein and antioxidants.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to boiling. Add the rice and salt and return to boiling. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the rice is tender.
-
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion for 7 to 8 minutes, until soft. Add the celery and carrots and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, and marjoram and sauté for 1 minute; set aside until the rice is cooked.
-
Toss the cooked rice with the vegetable mixture. Stir in the cherries, pepper, parsley, and almonds. Serve warm or at room temperature.
