Directions

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

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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

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

Recipe Note

A new way to use rhubarb, it plays off the nutty flavor of wild rice. This makes an attractive, unexpected side for fish or poultry. It has become a requested holiday dish in our family.
