Fun Fact: Wild rice isn’t a rice at all! Despite its name, wild rice is actually the seed of an aquatic grass. That said, it’s still just as delicious and often blended with regular rice in dishes.

Preparation

Add wild rice and water to a pot with a lid. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 45–55 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Wild rice will still have a slight chew to it when cooked.
