Wild Rice

Wild rice is not always wild and it is not actually rice. Rather, it is the seed of a wild aquatic grass indigenous to North America.

To cook:

1. Combine 1 cup rice with 1 3/4 cup water or broth, and 1 Tbsp. butter or oil (optional) in a pot, and bring to a boil.
2. Cover with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce heat to maintain a low simmer, and cook for 45 minutes.
3. Remove from heat (keep covered) and steam for 10 minutes. Fluff with fork and serve.
