| WILD RICE RECIPES and BASIC PREPARATION |
Preparation Method #1
NUTTY WILD RICE SALAD 1/2 cup wild rice 1 cup canned beef bouillon, undiluted 1 cup frozen peas, thawed 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced on the diagonal 4 green onions, sliced 1/4 cup silvered almonds, toasted lettuce cups (optional) DRESSING 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon sugar 1/4 cup vegetable oil 2 teaspoons sesame oil In medium saucepan, cover rice with cold water to a depth of 1 inch above rice. Heat to boiling. Drain water from rice and add bouillon. Simmer covered until liquid is absorbed. About 1 hour. Combine all dressing ingredients and mix well. While rice is still warm, toss with dressing; cool. In medium bowl, combine rice with peas, celery, green onions and almonds. Toss well. Refrigerate.

Preparation Method #2 The easiest way to cook wild rice. 1 cup raw wild rice Rinse thoroughly and put in a covered baking dish. Add 3 cups of water and 3 heaping tsp. of granulated chicken bouilon. Cover and bake in a 350 degree oven for 1-1/2 hours. Check rice after an hour's time. If more water is needed, add water and fluff with a fork. Continue baking for the additional 1/2 hour. Rice should be moist - not dry. If you are serving wild rice as a breakfast cereal or if for any reason you don't want the meat flavor, eliminate the bouillon and add 3/4 tsp. salt instead. It is just as easy to bake 2 or 3 batches of rice while your oven in hot. Put extera cooked batches in sealed plastic bags and freeze for future use. Wild rice freezes beautifully and is so handy to have on hand! GROUND BEEF AND WILD RICE CASSEROLE Pour 4 cups of boiling water over 1 cup uncooked wild rice and let stand fifteen minutes. Drain and add 1 can mushroom soup, 1 can cream of chicken soup, 1 large can sliced mushrooms (drained), 2 beef bouillon cubes dissolved in one cup of boiling water, 1 bay leaf, crumbled, and season to taste with celery salt, garlic salt, pepper, onion salt, and paprika. About 1/4 tsp. of each. Saute 3/4 cup chopped celery and 6 Tbsp. chopped onion in butter until transparent and add to the above mixture. Brown 1-1/2 pounds of ground beef, drain and add to the mixture. Put in to a casserole, sprinkle with one half cup silvered almonds. and refrigerate until time to bake. Bake covered for 1-1/2 hours at 350 degrees. (Add more bouillon if it becomes dry while baking.) |
