      Yield: 4 servings 
  
    1/2 c  Wild rice 
  1 1/3 c  Water; cold 
      1 t  Chicken bouillon 
      2    Bacon slice 
    1/2 c  Mushrooms; sliced 
      2 T  Green onion 
           Thyme; dried 
           Parsley; snipped 
  
  Pour cold rice over rice in strainer and lift rice with fingers (to 
  remove any impurities). Combine rice and 1 1/3 cups water and 
  bouillon. Bring to a boil, reduce heat. Cover and simmer 60 minutes.* 
  Meanwhile cook bacon partially and add mushrooms, green onion and 
  thyme. Cook till bacon is crisp and mushrooms soft. Drain off fat. Add 
  to cooked rice. Season with pepper. Sprinkle with chopped parsley. 
  Time consuming and expensive. 
  Be prepared to give wild rice as much cooking time as possible, 
  occasionally it will require a bit more time as it absorbs water more 
  slowly than regular rice.
