Combine the rice, water, and olive oil in a medium pot and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes.

Remove from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 more minutes. Fluff with a fork.

This delectable side dish of black or wild rice, corn, and cranberries is a festive eyeful, but it’s too good — and easy — to save for only special occasions

Black Rice with Corn and Cranberries

forbidden black rice (see note or wild rice)

garlic (minced)

scallions

corn kernels

lemon

cilantro leaves (to taste)

cumin

oregano

thyme

cranberries

Salt and pepper

pumpkin seeds

If using forbidden rice, combine in a saucepan with 2 cups water. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, about 30 minutes. If you’d like a more tender grain, add 1/2 cup additional water and cook until absorbed. If using wild rice, combine with 3 cups water and cook as directed above.

Just before the rice is done, heat half of the oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and sauté over low heat until golden. Add the scallions and corn kernels and sauté just until warmed through.

Transfer the cooked rice to the skillet. Turn the heat up to medium high, then add the  lime juice, cilantro, cumin, oregano, thyme cranberries, and remaining oil. Stir together gently, then season to taste with salt and pepper.

To serve, transfer to an attractive serving platter and sprinkle the pumpkin seeds over the top.
