How to Make Wilder Than Wild Rice

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1 red bell pepper (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1 cup white rice and 1/2 cup wild rice.
  3. Sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Add 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained) and 2 cups water. Mix well.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes, or until rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
  6. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Spoon the rice mixture into a lightly oiled shallow baking dish.
  7. Grill for 5-7 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and slightly smoky, rotating the dish halfway through.
