Northwoods Wild Rice image

My recipe uses a product native to the north-central United States, wild rice. Wild rice is not a rice at all, but rather a grass seed. It was a staple in the diet of the early American Indians and remains a favorite today because of its crunchy texture. This dish is especially good served with poultry.

This recipe was a bit too expensive for my taste. I think there are better wild rice dishes out there that are more affordable.

I wasn't a big fan of the mushrooms in this dish. I think it would have been better without them.

The wild rice was a bit too chewy for my liking. I think it could have been cooked for a little less time.
