That's what I do.

Here's a wild rice recipe I like. It's done in the oven and is fairly
plain. I like it to as an accomapniment for more elaborate dishes.

WILD RICE CASSEROLE

1 cup uncooked wild rice
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped onion
3 stalks celery, peeled and chopped
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 cup white wine
2 tablespoons butter
1 quart chicken stock
pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350F.

You can mix all the ingredients and bake for
1-1/2 to 2 hours. Check after about 45 minutes.

My notes:

I omit the seasoned salt as I find the finished dish too salty.

I saute just to soften the celery and onion.

This comes from the Congressional Club
Cook Book (1993 edition) and was contributed
by Mrs. Eugene McCarthy.
