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.

VEGETABLE AND HERB WILD RICE



Vegetable and Herb Wild Rice image

This is my first recipe to post so I'll start with my most popular (either that or the people I serve it to are really polite) but it's also my favorite. What I like about this dish is that, as a main dish, it's a simple, surprisingly tasty setting it aside from many vegetarian dishes... speaking only as a meat eater (uuuummm, I'm gonna get in trouble for that one, huh?), and refreshing change from the usual (chicken, beef, pork or lamb). But give it a try and tell me what you think. Chow!

Tips:

  • Choose the right wild rice: Look for wild rice that is a deep, dark brown color and has a nutty, earthy aroma. Avoid wild rice that is light in color or has a musty smell.
  • Rinse the wild rice thoroughly: Before cooking, rinse the wild rice in cold water for several minutes to remove any dirt or debris. This will also help to reduce the cooking time.
  • Use a large pot: Wild rice expands as it cooks, so be sure to use a large pot that is at least twice the size of the amount of wild rice you are cooking.
  • Add plenty of water: Wild rice needs more water than other types of rice, so be sure to add enough water to the pot. The general rule is to use 2 cups of water for every cup of wild rice.
  • Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat: Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer the wild rice for 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all of the water has been absorbed.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork: Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and fluff it with a fork to separate the grains.

Conclusion:

Wild rice is a delicious and nutritious grain that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and vitamins and minerals. Wild rice is also a good source of antioxidants, which can help to protect the body against disease. With its unique flavor and texture, wild rice is a great addition to any meal.
