Ingredients to make Wild Rice with Quinoa:

- 1 cup of pine nuts
- 1 cup raisins

How to make Wild Rice with Quinoa:
- Our first step to make the wild rice with quinoa recipe is to prepare the ingredients.
- Bring a pot over medium heat with a teaspoon of olive oil, once hot add the wild rice with salt to taste. Sauté for a few minutes.
- Cover with the water and you must be very aware of the cooking of the rice as it requires approximately 40 to 45 minutes. You must supervise that it does not overcook in such a way that its black pistils disappear.
- Tip: Unlike other types of rice, the ratio for cooking wild rice is three servings of water to one serving of rice.
- Cook the quinoa separately and once we have the two base ingredients you must bring a frying pan over medium heat with a teaspoon of olive oil, add the wild rice and the quinoa together. Mix the ingredients very well.
- Once they are sautéed for a certain time, add the raisins and mix well.
- Finally, when we are going to serve, add the pine nuts to taste.
- Tip: If you want to replace the pine nuts with some other dry fruit, it is totally valid. Remember that you can modify each recipe at will.
- Serve the wild rice with quinoa sprinkling a little sesame seeds on top. Remember that this is an excellent option to stuff turkey or chicken.
