Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons raisins

- 1/4 cup green bell pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried whole sage

Preparation

- Prepare quick-cooking wild rice according to package directions. Remove pan from heat and set aside.

- Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over a medium-high heat until hot. Add apple, celery, green pepper and carrot; sauté until crisp-tender. Remove skillet from heat and set aside.
- Combine 1-1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, sage and pepper in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Stir in converted rice. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Helpful hints
- Divide leftover rice into single servings, place in small freezer bags and freeze. To reheat for a quick meal later, microwave for 1-2 minutes or place freezer bag in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes.
- If quick-cooking wild rice is unavailable prepare regular wild rice as follows: Rinse wild rice in 3 changes of hot water; drain. Combine wild rice and 1-1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer 50 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
