Ojibwe Harvest Wild Rice

"I was intrigued to learn that wild rice is actually not rice but the seed of a marsh grass. It is expensive because it is beaten manually out of the grass and the harvest season is very short. I made this up with the best ingredients for special occasions. I hope you enjoy it!"

directions

  • Clean leeks of dirt.
  • Rinse rice in a strainer (a colander's holes are too big).
  • Place rice, water, and Grand Marnier in a heavy 3-quart saucepan then bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to a low boil; cover loosely and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • After 20 minutes, add leeks and butter. Stir and bring back up to a boil.
  • Bring back to a low boil; covered loosely, for 35 more minutes, still stirring occasionally. (cook until the rice has puffed and most of the liquid has absorbed).
  • After the 35 minutes, remove from heat and fluff rice with a fork.
  • Cover tightly and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper if desired then serve.
