• In large skillet or Dutch oven, combine drained wild rice, brown rice, onion, carrots, celery, chicken broth, thyme, marjoram, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat.

OVEN METHOD FOR COOKING WILD RICE RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Wash the rice thoroughly. Pick through it and remove any foreign objects and discolored grains. Put the rice in a casserole dish and add the 3 cups of water. Cover the casserole dish and place on the center rack in the oven. Bake for one hour. Check the rice and add water if the rice is nearly dry but still uncooked. Fluff with a fork. Replace the cover and bake for another 1/2 hour. Check the rice. It should be tender but not mushy. The grains should be splitting open but not so soft that they are beginning to disintegrate. Remove the dish from the oven. Drain if necessary and fluff the wild rice with a fork before serving. Wild rice is not uniform from one bag to the next. Water amounts and cooking time will vary, so watch your wild rice carefully as it bakes.

SUPER DELICIOUS AMAZING BROWN BASMATI AND WILD RICE

Steps:

• Pour almonds or pistachios into a large bowl. Sprinkle on spices. I usually add more cumin than anything, followed by cardamom, and just a little ginger. Sprinkle salt in also (this is the only thing getting salt, so put enough for the whole batch of rice also). Pour about 4 T of olive oil on top and stir so all the nuts are covered. You can do this in advance if you'd like so the flavors have time to combine.
• In a large pot with a tight fitting lid, bring 8 cups of water to a boil.
• Pour all 2 cups of rice into a fine strainer and wash it for 30 seconds with warm water.
• Pour rice into boiling water and stir once (the only time you will stir).
• Let it boil for 30 minutes uncovered.
• After 30 minutes pour it back into the strainer, but only for maybe 10 seconds because it still needs some moisture for the next step.
• Pour rice back into pot, put the lid on it, and put it on the turned off burner.
• Let it steam for 10 minutes.
• While you wait, cut up the onion. Heat up another pan and add the onions, garlic, and the nut and spice mixture.
• Saute on medium high heat until the onions are transparent and the nuts are starting to turn brown in places.
• Add to the finished rice.
• If you want to make this an entire meal, cook 1/2 cup each lentils and mushrooms, season the mushrooms the same as the nuts and add into the rice.
