WILD RICE WITH VEGETABLES

Wild rice recipes often call for a mix of wild rice and white or brown rice. I love the taste of the two rices mixed together as each has a slightly different texture.

Look for long-grain and wild rice mixes near other rice products on supermarket shelves. Wild rice adds an invigorating, nutty flavor and texture to pilaf.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 tablespoons nonhydrogenated margarine
1 medium onion, diced
2 large celery stalks, diced
1 to 2 vegetable bouillon cubes
1 1/2 cups long-grain and wild rice mix
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the margarine in a large saucepan. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until golden.
  • Add 4 cups water, the celery, and bouillon cubes and bring to a simmer. Stir in the rice mix, cover, and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, 35 to 40 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
  • Did you know that wild rice is not really a type of rice, nor a grain at all? It is actually the seed of a tall aquatic grass that thrives in freshwater lakes or rivers. Most of the crop is harvested in and around Minnesota and other Great Lakes states by Native American-owned companies. Cultivating wild rice on a larger scale has proven difficult, so its niche remains as a specialty gourmet grain.
  • Wild rice dishes help dress up fall harvest meals; they are especially compatible with winter squash dishes.
  • Combine brown rice with a small amount of wild rice when cooking for added texture and nutty flavor.
  • Add a small amount of cooked wild rice to stuffings and other wintery casseroles.
