• 4 cups rice of choice, cooked and cooled
• 1 tablespoon nut or olive oil
• 2 medium tart apples, cored and diced
• ½ cup dried cranberries
• 1/3 cup fresh orange juice, or more as needed
• 2-3 green onions (white & green parts) thinly sliced
• Pinch each of ground cinnamon and nutmeg
• ¼ cup pecans, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium heat.  Add apples and cook 5 minutes. Stir in rice mixture along with cranberries, orange juice, onion, cinnamon and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper to desired taste. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add a bit more orange juice if mixture seems dry. Stir in pecans and parsley and serve at room temperature.
