Steps:
- Heat the margarine in a large saucepan. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until golden.
- Add 4 cups water, the celery, and bouillon cubes and bring to a simmer. Stir in the rice mix, cover, and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, 35 to 40 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
- Did you know that wild rice is not really a type of rice, nor a grain at all? It is actually the seed of a tall aquatic grass that thrives in freshwater lakes or rivers. Most of the crop is harvested in and around Minnesota and other Great Lakes states by Native American-owned companies. Cultivating wild rice on a larger scale has proven difficult, so its niche remains as a specialty gourmet grain.
- Wild rice dishes help dress up fall harvest meals; they are especially compatible with winter squash dishes.
- Combine brown rice with a small amount of wild rice when cooking for added texture and nutty flavor.
- Add a small amount of cooked wild rice to stuffings and other wintery casseroles.
