Wild Rice with a Twist

I often get comments asking why I use white rice and not brown in my recipes. My general response has always been because I grew up on white and I'm not in love with brown and I don't like to eat what I don't love! I have always been a fan though of Near East's Wild Rice which has a certain blend of seasonings to it that I have always enjoyed and seem to have whenever I am making pork. The other day as I was making my Spiced Up Pulled Pork I decided to try a new wild rice blend I got from Lundberg. They make a risotto that I am fond of so when I saw their wild rice blends I decided to give it a try and to spice it myself. As I was using the Montreal Steak in my pork I decided to add it to the rice and what do you know?! it was remarkably similar to the wild rice blend I like from Near East.



Wild Rice: Serves 4

1C Lundberg Wild Rice
1.75C Water (or Chicken Stock)
1tsp Olive Oil
2tsp Montreal Steak Seasoning
2tsp Parsley Flakes (dried)

Place the rice, water, olive oil and montreal steak seasoning in a small sauce pot, bring up to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover with a lid and let it cook slowly until all of the water has been absorbed by the rice. Fluff with a fork, add the parsley, stir once more, serve & enjoy!
