COOKED WILD RICE
Just a few years after the chef Larry Forgione opened his restaurant, An American Place, Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey asked him about his Thanksgiving table. Amid the duck and turkey, the oysters and persimmon pudding was "that most domestic of all cereals," wild rice, in a hearty soup. Easy enough for a weeknight, this simple recipe doesn't have to be relegated to the annual feast. Pair it with roast chicken or broiled fish, or top it with cooked Italian sausage and mushrooms to make it a meal of its own.

Steps:
- Rinse and drain the rice.
- Heat the butter in a saucepan and add the onion. Cook until the onion is wilted. Add the rice and stir. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the water or chicken broth and bring to the boil.
- Cover closely and let simmer 30 to 45 minutes or until the rice ''blooms'' and is tender. Cooking time will vary due to grain size and moisture content.
