More Fun with Rice, This is Wild Lake Rice. To eat it raw you grind it up in the food
processor until it is broken up... takes a few times and is pretty loud! but worth it! Then
you soak the rice in water over night in a bigger bowl, we had to transfer it from this small
bowl, because it "grew" so much! Add more water and keep soaking until it is to your
desired taste. you can cook it on super super low for a few minutes if you like... eat on
top of salad or with grilled veggies. Super flavorful!

Description: Rooted in Tradition, modified for our modern lifestyle!
A blend of FIDEO noodles and long Grain White Rice this is the first dish I really remember asking
my mom to "teach" me to make... Whenever my grandma would make it, it would seem extra good!!
I think we even had this at our wedding!!

Rice seems simple, but it is all about the technique! Replacing the original butter with EVOO (extra
virgin olive oil) and replacing chicken broth with either lean broth or veggie broth make this dish just
as special. Super good with grilled chicken breasts, salad, veggies...
