Canada's central northern lakes and marshes provide us with the finest fragrant long-grain wild rice.

Ingredients

2 cups  (500 mL)  wild rice
4 cups  (1 L)  chopped mushrooms (about 10 oz/300 g)
1 small onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, diced
1/4 cup  (60 mL)  olive or vegetable oil
3 tbsp  (45 mL)  sherry vinegar or wine vinegar
1 tsp  (5 mL)  salt
1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  black pepper
1/4 cup  (60 mL)  chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup  (60 mL)  chopped fresh chives

Preparation

In saucepan, bring 8 cups/2 L water to boil; add rice and boil gently until tender and some but not all of the grains have burst open, about 30 minutes. Drain; transfer to bowl.

In saucepan, stir together mushrooms, onion, celery, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.

Scrape over rice and mix well; let cool. Stir in parsley and chives.
