Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Wild rice, indigenous to the Great Lakes region of the United States, grows in marshy bogs, rivers and lakes. It has a chewy texture and a nutty flavor. If you can’t find wild rice in the freezer section of your grocery store, look for it in cans in the rice and dried bean aisle.
  • tip 2
    Cook wild rice when you have time and freeze in 1-cup portions in resealable plastic freezer bags. If you have the ingredients on hand, this is a good recipe for last minute preparation.
