List of Ingredients
1 1/2 cups wild rice
6 cups country-style bread cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 pound sliced bacon, coarsely chopped
2 onions, chopped
4 celery ribs, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup chicken broth
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 4-quart baking dish. Rinse rice in a sieve under cold water, place in a 4-quart pan and cover with 2 inches cold water. Simmer, covered, until tender, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Drain rice in sieve; cool 10 minutes. Meanwhile, toast bread in a large shallow baking pan in middle of oven until dry, about 30 minutes.
Cook bacon in a large skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until crisp. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a large bowl. Cook onions in bacon fat remaining in skillet, stirring, until softened. Add celery and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
Add onions and celery to bacon; stir in parsley, bread, rice, and salt and pepper. Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees. Transfer dressing to baking dish; drizzle chicken broth over dressing. Bake dressing, covered, 20 minutes, then uncover and bake 20 minutes more or until bread is golden brown and dressing is heated through. Makes 8 servings.
