Directions to cook the rice:
- The basmati rice and wild rice will be cooked separately. Wash each rice until the water isn’t cloudy.
- For the wild rice, add the rice, 2 cups water, ½ tsp oil, and 1/8 tsp salt to a medium pot. Cook on high until it reaches a boil. Then, reduce heat to low, and put a lid on the pot. Cook for 50 – 60 minutes until all of the water is absorbed.
- For the basmati rice, add the rice, 1 cup water, ½ tsp oil, and 1/8 tsp salt to a medium pot. Cook on high until it reaches a boil. Then, reduce heat to low, and put a lid on the pot. Cook for 13 - 15 minutes until all of the water is absorbed.
Directions for the pilaf:
