Be sure to check the package instructions, as cooking times and water ratios may vary based on the specific brand or type of wild rice.

Rinse the wild rice under cold water.

In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water.

Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid. Let the wild rice simmer for about 40-50 minutes, or until the grains are tender and start to split open.

Drain any excess water if necessary. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
