White rice,
and even brown rice can get boring, so it’s nice to have multicolored wild rice
for a change. Its delightfully chewy texture and rich nutty flavor are sure to
awaken your taste buds. I made this wild rice recipe to go with Poached Sole
with an Orange-Chive Sauce and steamed broccoli and cauliflower but that is
only one idea. You can combine
this with many other entrée options. We call it “light soul food.” It is sure
to revitalize your body and soul with its nutritious content!
Ingredients
(Serves 4-6)
1 cup wild
rice
2 cups
water
1 celery
stalk, chopped
1 bunch
scallions or 1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 cups

1/2
teaspoon trans fat free margarine
1/4
teaspoon salt (optional)
Prep time:
5 minutes
Cooking
time: 40 minutes
In a small
or medium pot with a lid, sauté the chopped celery and scallions in the
margarine for 1-2 minutes or until slightly translucent. Then, add the rice and
stir over medium heat another minute. Add the water, bring to a boil, then
cover and simmer for 35 minutes. After 35 minutes, turn off the heat, and add
the chopped spinach and cover for 5 minutes. Add salt at the end if desired.
