Instructions for making basic wild rice were given to us by the Minnesota Cultivated Wild Rice Council.

Makes About 4 Cups Cooked Rice

Wash rice thoroughly. Place the wild rice, water and salt in a 3 quart heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 45 to 60 minutes, or until rice has puffed and most of liquid has been absorbed. Fluff rice with a fork and cook, uncovered, to evaporate any excess liquid.
