Perfect Wild Rice

Ingredients

• 1 ¹⁄₂ cups long-grain wild rice
• 4 cups <a href="http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Chicken-Stock">chicken stock</a>

Instructions

1. Rinse rice, soak in a medium bowl (about 3 cups) of cold water for 1 hour, then drain.
2. Bring stock to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add rice, cover, and allow to return to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until tender but firm, about 45 minutes or longer.
3. Drain off any excess stock, then fluff with a fork, and serve immediately—or keep warm in a double boiler with a towel under the lid to absorb excess moisture.
