Wild Rice Torres and Cauliflower Casserole

For side dishes, may I suggest this wild rice recipe that pairs nicely with wild game. WILD RICE TORRES Serves 6 to 8
  • 1 pound pork breakfast sausage, or fresh Italian sausage removed from the casings
  • 2 boxes wild rice mixture, cooked according to package directions
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Salt and cayenne to taste
In a skillet, cook the sausage of your choice until all the pink disappears. Drain off the excess fat. Add the sausage to the pot of cooked wild rice along with the green onions, raisins, and nuts. Season with salt and cayenne. Mix well and serve warm. And this cauliflower dish is also a good side with roasted duck. CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE
