This wild rice dressing with roasted grapes and walnuts is a sophisticated high-protein side dish that brings together a beautiful array of textures and autumnal flavours. The earthy, nutty base of wild and brown rice is perfectly offset by the burst of sweetness from oven-roasted grapes and the aromatic brightness of fresh orange zest. Toasted walnuts provide a satisfying crunch, making this a truly well-rounded recipe that feels both wholesome and indulgent.
Ideal for a Sunday roast or as a substantial vegetarian main, this versatile dish can be prepared in advance to save time in the kitchen. The combination of slow-simmered grains and savoury shallots makes it a comforting choice for cooler months, offering a nutritious balance of fibre and healthy fats. Serve it alongside roasted poultry or enjoy it on its own for a light yet filling lunch.

Add brown rice, cover, and simmer until rice is tender but firm, adding more broth by 60ml fuls if dry, about 40 minutes longer. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly; cover and chill. Rewarm over medium-low heat before using, adding more broth by 60ml fuls if dry.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 177°C. Place grapes on rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with oil; toss. Roast grapes until beginning to wrinkle, about 15 minutes. Transfer to bowl; toss with vinegar. DO AHEAD: Can be made 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
Add grapes and any juices, walnuts, and orange peel to hot rice; toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
