Ingredients
- 1 cup wild rice not a blend
- 3 cups vegetable broth or water
- 1 Tbsp. butter or oil
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Add the rice to a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cool running water for 1-2 minutes.
- Combine the rice and the broth or water in a medium-sized pot over high heat. Bring it to a boil and then reduce heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 50-60 minutes, or until cooked through.
- If excess liquid remains, add it back to the fine mesh strainer to drain.
Notes
- How to prep ahead of time: Rice is best enjoyed immediately, but you can make it up to 24 hours early if needed.
- How to store: Keep any leftover wild rice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
- How to freeze: You can freeze wild rice in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 to 4 months.
- How to reheat: The best way to reheat any type of rice is in a skillet over medium heat. Add a little water or oil as needed and stir frequently until heated through.
