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.

Steps:
- Add the rice to boiling water, reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan and sauté the carrots, onion and celery over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add the wild rice, long grain rice and tarragon and mix well. Add 2 2/3 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until all liquid is absorbed, about 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes. Add the snow peas, and stir until crisp tender, about 2 minutes longer. Add to the rice mixture. Adjust the seasoning to taste 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.
