Bacon Cashew Wild Rice
Bacon Cashew Wild Rice
Wild rice is one of the only grains native to North America and is a huge staple of indigenous tribes. While it’s called rice, it is actually a grass seed that grows naturally in lakes. This particular recipe has the wild rice mixed with sautéed bacon, celery, onions, and mushrooms. At the last minute, cashews are stirred in.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups wild rice
- 4 cups water
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp butter
- 4 slices bacon diced
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 ribs celery diced
- 8 oz button mushrooms sliced
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup cashews
Instructions
- Add the wild rice, water, and salt to a pot. Bring to a boil. Cover. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 45 minutes.
- While the rice is cooking, fry the diced bacon in a separate sauté pan until crispy. Remove from the pan.
- Melt the butter in the same sauté pan. Sauté the onions, celery, and mushrooms over medium high heat for 8 minutes.
- Stir the bacon and cashews back in.
