DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 350øF. Squeeze the excess moisture from the celery in a towel.

In a food processor or blender, puree the onion, green pepper and parsley with a little of the milk.

In a large bowl, combine the celery, wild rice, ground hazelnuts, onion mixture and flour. Stir in the eggs, remaining milk, butter, salt, pepper and lemon thyme leaves.

Pour the mixture into a well-buttered 1 1/4-quart ring mold. Place the mold in a deep baking pan, pour enough hot water into the pan to measure 2-inches, and bake for 1 hour, or until the mold is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the mold from the water, let stand for 15 minutes, and unmold on a heated serving plate. Garnish with sprigs of lemon thyme or celery leaves.

Makes about 6 to 8 servings.
