Rhubarb Wild Rice Pilaf

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup almonds
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup chopped sweet onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups chopped rhubarb
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1/2 cup golden raisins
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 cup cooked wild rice
• 1 cup cooked long-grain white rice

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spread almonds onto a baking sheet.

Toast almonds in preheated oven until golden and fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion in hot oil until just translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix rhubarb into onion and garlic and saute until slightly softened, about 2 minutes more.

Stir wine wine, raisins, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper into rhubarb mixture; cover the skillet with a lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until rhubarb is tender to the bite but still firm, 5 to 8 minutes. Add honey and soy sauce; stir.

Mix wild rice and white rice into the rhubarb mixture; cook and stir until rice is heated through. Top with toasted almonds.
