Wild Rice and Sweet Potato Stuffing

Directions

In a medium saucepan, combine wild rice, salt and water. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 45-60 minutes or until grains open. Drain and set aside.

At the same time and in another saucepan, combine sweet potatoes with enough lightly salted water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for about 15 minutes until potatoes are tender but not mushy. Drain, set aside.

In a large skillet, heat 2 TBS olive oil over medium high heat. Add garlic, onion, and celery. Saute until vegetables are fragrant - around 2 minutes.

Add apples, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Continue to saute another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Combine cooked wild rice, cooked sweet potatoes and apple mixture. Add chopped parsley and combine well. Add almonds and toss.

Use stuffing to fill poultry. Or put the stuffing into a lightly greased casserole dish and bake at 350 F for 25 minutes until golden and heated through.
