Wild Rice




By Henry Pai
This is one of the most popular
dishes in Henry's restaurant.
The natural tastes of the wild rice and veggies
shine through, and make a perfect side dish.

Ingredients
3 cups water
1 1/2 cups wild rice
3 1/4 cups defatted chicken broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 leeks, chopped
1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions
In a large saucepan, combine the water and rice
Bring to a boil over high heat
Cover, remove from the heat and let stand for 20 minutes
Drain well and return to the pan
Add 3 cups of the broth
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat
Stir, cover, reduce the heat and simmer for 25 minutes,
or until the rice is just tender
and the liquid has been absorbed

While the rice is cooking,
warm the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat
Add the leeks and sauté for 3 minutes
Add the mushrooms; sauté for 3 minutes
Add the pepper and remaining 1/4 cup broth
Cover and simmer for 5 minutes
Set aside until the rice is ready
Add the rice to the pan and mix well
Great side dish to serve with any entree
Thank you Henry!!
