BASIC COOKING INSTRUCTIONS


STOVETOP METHOD

Bring 1 cup of wild rice to boil in 3 cups of water or stock.  Cover and simmer for 50 minutes, until kernels blossom, turning puffy and tender.  Drain, add salt, season to taste.  Serve hot or cold.


OVERNIGHT METHOD
Set wild rice on the stove with a generous amount of water and bring it to a boil.  Put the top on and turn the burner off.  Leave the rice in the hot water, undisturbed and the next morning it is done. This method yields very fluffy wild rice.
