Wild Rice Pilaf

Servings: 6-8

Ingredients:

3 cups Stock or water

1 cup Wild rice

Salt & pepper to taste

2-3 Tbsp Oil

1/4 cup Onion, minced

2 cups Stock or water

1 cup White rice

Cooking Instructions:

Bring the stock or water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the wild rice, salt and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 35-45 minutes until rice is tender yet still firm. Do not overcook. While the wild rice is simmering, heat oil in another large saucepan. Add onion and sauté until translucent but not yet browned. Add white rice and continue to sauté till rice grains are shiny and translucent, 1-2 minutes more. Add stock or water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover tightly and simmer 15-18 minutes more. Remove from heat and let set, covered, another 5-10 minutes. Drain excess liquid from the wild rice (use to flavor other dishes if you like). Gently stir the wild rice into the cooked white rice with a large fork. Adjust seasoning and stir in a little butter if you like. Serve immediately.
