Wild Rice-Pine Nut Stuffing

1/4 c Wild rice, uncooked

1 c Water

1 Green onion

1 sm Garlic clove, minced

1 ts Vegetable oil

1/4 c Pine nuts or any chopped nut

1/2 ts Dried thyme

Cook the wild rice in the water until tender, about 1 hour. Add more water if needed. Meanwhile, saute the onion, garlic, nuts and thyme in the oil. Add the wild rice. Simmer for 10 minutes to blend the flavors. Cool enough to stuff into quail or one Cornish hen (or serve with chicken). 1/2 recipe - 182 calories, 1 bread exchange, 2 fat 15 grams carbohydrate, 4

They do not have a very strong flavor.
