      The Best of Wild Rice Recipes - Beatrice Ojakangas

      How-To

      HOW TO COOK WILD RICE ON THE RANGE TOP

      2 cups cooked rice

      ⅔c. wild rice

      ½ to 1 tsp. salt

      2½ c. water

      Wash wild rice in three changes of hot tap water; drain. In saucepan, heat rice, salt and water to boiling. Reduce heat and cover. Simmer until rice is tender and has absorbed the water, this will take from 30 to 45 minutes. Drain at the 30-minute mark for chewier rice. Rice should be tender but not rolled back or mushy. Some kernels will be open, but others will be just tender.

      HOW TO COOK WILD RICE IN THE OVEN

      2 cups cooked rice

      ⅔ c. wild rice

      ½ to 1 tsp. salt

      2½ c. water

      Wash wild rice in three changes of hot water; drain. Combine rice, water and salt in ovenproof casserole; cover. Bake at 325˚ for one hour to one hour and 20 minutes. This method works well when you are roasting poultry or meat along with the rice. If desired, you can add other ingredients such as onions, celery, mushrooms or other vegetables to the rice before baking.

      Cook wild rice using this method if you already have another part of the meal in the oven.

      HOW TO COOK WILD RICE IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN

      2 cups cooked rice

      ⅔ c. wild rice

      ½ to 1 tsp. salt

      2½ c. water

      Wash wild rice in three changes of hot water; drain. Combine rice, water and salt in an uncovered 2-quart glass bowl or casserole. Microwave on HIGH for five minutes or until mixture boils; reduce power to MEDIUM and cook for 30 to 35 minutes. Let stand 10-15 minutes; drain if there is excess water.

      Wild rice takes just as long to cook in the microwave as on the range top, but the microwave takes less energy and is a convenience, especially in the summertime.

      HOW TO POP WILD RICE

      Be forewarned: Not all wild rice will pop successfully. The best rice to use is hand-processed wild rice that usually has more moisture left in each kernel, which will expand when heated.

      Place ½ oil in a small, shallow pan with a small strainer set in the oil. Heat at high temperature until oil is about 450˚. Drop one kernel of rice into the strainer. When it sizzles, cracks open and expands to about double its length, the oil is ready. (You may wish to reduce the heat temporarily.) Add one tablespoon rice at a time to the oil. When all kernels have expanded (which constitutes the popping"), dump out onto paper toweling. Repeat, adjusting heat as necessary. Crisp popped rice may be seasoned with salt, pepper and mixed herbs. Or you may use as a garnish on salads, soups and casseroles.

      Appetizers

      CURRIED WILD RICE APPETIZERS

      15 appetizers

      1 c. cooked wild rice

      1 3-ounce pkg. cream cheese

      1 green onion, sliced

      1 tsp. curry powder

      Dash cayenne

      ⅓ c. chopped chutney

      Chopped pecans

      Chopped parsley

      Toasted sesame seeds

      Blend wild rice into the cream cheese along with the onion, curry powder and cayenne. Blend in the chutney. Shape into balls the size of small walnuts. Roll in chopped nuts,
