Preparation

Step 1
Put the cherries or cranberries in a bowl, pour the wine over them and set aside to soak 2 to 3 hours.
Step 2
Put the rice and stock in a saucepan, bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook about 45 minutes, until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Step 3
Drain the rice well and put it in a bowl. Drain the cherries and add them to the rice, along with the scallions and walnuts.
Step 4
Beat the vinegar and mustard together, beat in the oil, pour the dressing over the rice and toss. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
