Take a Rice on the Wild Side

Try replacing regular white or brown rice in your diet with wild rice. It is lower in calories and higher in flavor and fiber than regular rice. I love to saute aromatics like onions, shallots, celery and garlic, add some black pepper and maybe a little cumin..then add the wild rice and water (in equal parts) and simmer until it's popping open and tender. (Bring it to a boil and then simmer for about 20-30 min.)
