Wild Rice

This Wild Rice recipe uses simple ingredients—wild rice, kosher salt, and water—to produce fluffy cooked rice that can serve as a base for many meals. The grain is simmered until tender and then drained, resulting in a nutty textured side dish that complements a variety of proteins and vegetables.

Description

To make Wild Rice, start by rinsing the rice to remove excess starch and impurities. Combine the rinsed wild rice with kosher salt and water in a pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 50 to 55 minutes until the grains open and are tender. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes to steam gently. Finally, drain any remaining water before serving.

Wild rice has a chewy texture and an earthy, slightly nutty flavor that pairs well with robust dishes like roasted meats or sautéed vegetables. It can be served as a side or incorporated into salads, soups, or stuffing recipes.
