Basic Wild Rice

Contributed by: Melinda

Wild rice is technically a type of aquatic grass seed. The directions for cooking typically call for 3-1 water to rice ratio, but I find it overcooks very easily that way. I prefer my rice to have texture, so I like something closer to 2-1. I find it doesn't require draining off any excess liquid this way, therefore you don't loose any flavor. Delicious!

1 cup wild rice, rinsed
2 1/4 cups water
1/2 tsp kosher salt

Heat water to boiling, add salt and rice, stir and return to boil
Cover and simmer for 40-55 minutes, until rice is just burst and still has a bite
If there is any liquid not absorbed, you can remove the cover and cook another 5 or so minutes until remaining liquid is absorbed.

Wild rice goes very well with anything from herbs and aromatics to vegetables to meats, poultry and fish.
