Wild Rice

Wild rice is something that always caught my attention, yet I have never had the guts to try to make it. It seems like something that is only served in a restaurant because it seems so "elegant". Apparently I am crazy and think that things like rice can be elegant.

So one day, I was at sprouts.....

and I was browsing their bulk section .....

I found some wild rice.....

So now I HAD to make something with it. 

Way to go Paty, now you have to think of how to cook it. 

That's the end of my short story......

So first I boiled about (1/4) c of wild rice for 20 min until soft 

(I started with about 1 c of water and added a little more until the rice was soft)

Then I added a few spoonfuls of leftover cooked Peruvian beans. 

Then I chopped some cilantro, onion, bell pepper and mushrooms and let it simmer with 1 tsp. of vegetable bullion. 

That's all folks. 

So here is a recap:

1/4 c rice

1/3 c beans

1/2 bell pepper, chopped

3 mushrooms (small)

handful of cilantro

2 tbs of onion

1 tsp. of vegetable bullion
