1/2 c Wild rice 1/2 c Mushrooms; sliced
1 1/3 c -Water; cold 2 tb Green onion
1 ts Chicken bouillon Thyme; dried
2 Bacon slice Parsley; snipped
Pour cold rice over rice in strainer and lift rice with fingers (to remove
any impurities). Combine rice and 1 1/3 cups water and bouillon. Bring to a
boil, reduce heat. Cover and simmer 60 minutes.* Meanwhile cook bacon
partially and add mushrooms, green onion and thyme. Cook till bacon is
crisp and mushrooms soft. Drain off fat. Add to cooked rice. Season with
pepper. Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Time consuming and expensive. Be
prepared to give wild rice as much cooking time as possible, occasionally
it will require a bit more time as it absorbs water more slowly than
regular rice. Source: Canadian govt publication
