We normally eat plain white rice with our meals, so having wild rice is a great change of pace and a wonderful treat. As I don't enjoy bread stuffing, when I saw this recipe on Dawn's Recipes, I jumped at the opportunity to make this as to accompany my Roast Turkey. I did adapt slightly with what we have available in our pantry.
Cooking rice is so simple for us as we use a rice cooker. This recipe takes me back when I was a child when I would see my mother cooking rice on the stove top. How times have changed!
