Northwoods Wild Rice

SUBMITTED BY: Suzanne Caquelin

"My recipe uses a product native to the north-central United States, wild rice. Wild rice is not a rice at all, but rather a grass seed. It was a staple in the diet of the early American Indians and remains a favorite today because of its crunchy texture. This dish is especially good served with poultry."

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups uncooked wild rice, rinsed
4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter or margarine
4 slices bacon, diced
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery, sliced
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
seasoned salt to taste
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup salted cashews

DIRECTIONS

Place rice, water and salt in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer; cook 45 minutes or until tender. Uncover and fluff with a fork. Simmer for 5 additional minutes. Drain any liquid. While rice is cooking, fry bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels. In a skillet, melt butter and saute onion, celery and mushrooms until tender. Add rice, seasoned salt and pepper. Heat through. Just before serving, top with cashews and reserved bacon.
For a make-ahead dish, place cooked rice mixture in a 2-qt. casserole; top with cashews and bacon. Refrigerate until ready to reheat. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-30 minutes.

It was great but needed more flavor. I might use this recipe again but maybe add more spices. MORE
