How to Cook Wild Rice... Stovetop Method Take 1 cup uncooked wild rice and add to 3 cups of boiling water in a heavy saucepan. Add seasonings for flavor. Examples: salt, lemon pepper, chicken or beef bouillon cubes, or chicken or beef broth (would replace water). Return water to boil and stir. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 50-60 minutes or just until kernels puff open. Uncover and fluff with table fork. Simmer five additional minutes. Drain any excess liquid. For chewier texture cook less time. Yield: 3-4 cups of cooked wild rice. Oven Method Take 1 cup uncooked wild rice and combine with 3 cups water in a covered 2-quart casserole dish. Cover and bake at 350 F for 1 hour. Check the wild rice. Add more water, if needed, and fluff with a fork. Continue baking for ½ hour. Wild rice should be moist, not dry. Yield: 3-4 cups of cooked wild rice. Microwave Method Take 1 cup of uncooked wild rice and combine with 3 cups water in a covered 2-quart glass casserole dish. Microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes.
