Wild Rice Cooking: History, Natural History, Harvesting, and Love

Servings:	6
Author Notes:	Diabetic cooking guru Marilyn Helton adapted this recipe from the Wild Rice For All Seasons Cookbook (unfortunately now out of print), by Beth Anderson Associates. See the related links below for more great low fat, diabetic friendly wild rice recipes.
Ingredients:	1 small onion, minced 1 cup wild rice 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) calorie-reduced margarine 3/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups water juice and grated zest of 1 large orange 1/2 cup chopped nuts
Instructions:	Sauté the onion and wild rice in the butter in a heavy saucepan for 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the salt and add the water and orange juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, covered, over low heat about 45 minutes, or until rice has just popped. (For a crunchy, nut-like texture, do not overcook rice in this recipe). Fluff rice with a fork and stir in the orange rind and nuts. Serve hot. Diabetic Exchanges: 1 Bread 1/2 Vegetable 1 Fat
