How To Cook A Two-Person Portion:1. Place 120g of Giant Wild Rice in a large saucepan and add 450ml of boiling water.2. Return to the boil, cover and simmer for 45-50 minutes until the grains have popped.3. Take off the heat and keep the pan covered for a further 5 minutes then fork through the grains. We like to add a knob of butter, or drizzle with olive oil.To shorten the cooking time, cover generously in boiling water and soak overnight. Drain and cook as above using 300ml of water for 20 minutes.
