Today, I am excited to share a unique and flavorful recipe that is perfect for a cozy night in or a special occasion. This dish always brings me joy with its combination of unexpected flavors and textures. I hope it can do the same for you!

Preparation

I start by gathering all the unusual ingredients needed for this recipe: 200g of wild rice, 150g of dried mango slices, 100g of crumbled goat cheese, a handful of toasted pine nuts, a drizzle of honey, and a pinch of saffron threads.

Next, I carefully rinse the wild rice until the water runs clear. In a medium-sized saucepan, I combine the rice with double its volume of water, adding the saffron threads for a beautiful golden hue. I bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer, covered, for about 45 minutes or until the rice is tender.

While the rice is cooking, I chop the dried mango slices into small, chewy pieces and toast the pine nuts until they are fragrant and slightly browned.

Once the rice is ready, I fluff it with a fork and toss in the chopped mango, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted pine nuts. To finish, I drizzle a bit of honey over the top for a touch of sweetness.
