Step 1

Prep the veggies (optional but recommended): Small dice the onion. Dice the celery.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, place the onion, celery, wild rice, vegetable broth, water, and 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring it to a boil, then cover and simmer 45 to 50 minutes, until the rice is split and tender. (Most of the grains will split, but not all: see the photo.)

Step 3

Drain excess liquid. Taste and add an additional 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. If you’d like, add a drizzle of olive oil or a tablespoon or two of butter (but it tastes great on its own).
