--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4      ounces        wild rice
   2      tablespoons   pine nuts -- or more
   4                    sun-dried tomatoes -- chopped
     1/4  cup           pitted black olives -- sliced
                        minced parsley
     1/4  cup           olive oil
   2      tablespoons   red wine vinegar
                        salt and pepper

Cook the rice in an abundant amount of boiling salted water in a large pot
for 35 to 45 minutes or until the grains have almost doubled in size and are
tender, but still chewy.  Drain the rice in a sieve and run cold water over
to cool.  Drain thoroughly.  Toast the pine nuts lightly (dry skillet) until
tan.  Let the nuts cool.  Combine the drained wild rice in a bowl with pine
nuts, tomatoes, olives, etc.  Toss gently to mix.

(odd that cheese is not listed!?!)

NOTES : Insalata di riso selvatico
Wild rice is a cereal grown in the Lake Superior area.  It's woodsy flavor
complements game and fowl.
