Wild Rice Bake

Wild Rice Bake is a great side dish or vegetarian lunch-time main. Wild rice is high in protien and dietary fibre and low in fat. It is also a good source of the minerals. Because commercial, paddy-grown wild rice is harder and denser than naturally growing wild rice, it must be cooked longer to become soft enough to be eaten.

Serves: 4

1 cup rice
4 cups boiling water
¼ cup oil
¼ cup Soya sauce
220g can mushrooms pieces (not drained)
1 medium onion chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Heat oven to 160C.
