How to Cook Wild Rice

Wash one cup of wild rice thoroughly. Place the wild rice in a heavy saucepan with 4 cups of salted water. Bring to a boil. Simmer covered for 30 min for the light colored rice and 60 min for dark colored rice until it is tender but not mushy. (Remember, wild rice may have different preparation times.)

Uncover. Fluff with a table fork, Simmer for an additional 5 min. Drain excess liquid if there is any.
