Wild Rice with Dried Cranberries and Toasted Hazelnuts

If you like wild rice, this is a very nice side dish -- especially in the winter months. The sauteed scallions, dried cranberries, OJ and orange zest, and toasted hazelnuts really dress up the wild rice.

It is a nice accompaniment for a duck dish, especially one braised in red wine or with a red wine or port sauce. It's incredibly easy to make but nice enough to serve guests.
