Recipes Using Wild Rice

A pile of wild rice and a wooden spoon.
Although both wild and white rice are the seeds of different aquatic grasses, wild rice contains more protein and nutrients, making it a healthier choice. It has a nutty flavor and works in all sorts of soups, stews and casseroles.

I love serving Cornish game hens because each person can have their own, with all the cuts. The meat and veggies are all cooked in the same pan and lend flavours to each other. The wild rice is boosted by the great texture of almonds and walnuts, while sweetened and softened by chopped dates. I consider this the best date-night meal!

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 50 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes

Yield: 2-3 servings
