Scale
- 1/2 cup packaged wild rice (such as Uncle Ben's Long Grain & Wild Rice)
- 1 (6-ounce) can (1 1/3 cups) sliced or whole mushrooms, drained with liquid reserved
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 (4 5/8-ounce) package (1 1/3 cups) precooked rice
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
Instructions
- Cook the wild rice: Prepare the packaged wild rice according to package directions. Drain well and set aside.
- Prepare mushroom liquid: Drain the canned mushrooms, reserving the liquid in a measuring cup. Add enough water to the mushroom liquid to measure 1⅓ cups total.
- Heat mushroom mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the drained mushrooms and the mushroom liquid mixture. Add salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Add precooked rice: Use the mushroom liquid mixture as the cooking liquid for the precooked rice. Add the precooked rice to the saucepan and heat according to package directions, typically 5-7 minutes.
- Combine everything: Add the drained wild rice and butter to the saucepan with the mushroom-rice mixture. Stir gently to combine.
- Final heating: Cover the saucepan and heat briefly over low heat, about 2-3 minutes, just until everything is warmed through and the butter has melted completely.
- Serve: Fluff with a fork and serve hot. This dish pairs beautifully with roast chicken, pork chops, or beef tenderloin.
