  • Cook on LOW HEAT for 6-8 hours if using only wild rice or 4-6 hours for a wild rice blend, until rice is cooked and soft.

  • Serve with a big crusty loaf of bread and some fresh parsley on top!

Notes

For best results, use wild rice or the Lundberg Wild rice blend. Leftovers are always better the next day.
