Wild Rice Breakfast Cereal
- Ingredients
- 3 ozs Wild rice

- 1 oz Bulgur (About 3 tablespoons)

In a saucepan, bring wild rice and 2 cups of water to a boil. Cook 20 minutes, then drain in a colander. Transfer to a 3-quart casserole dish.
Chop apricots. Mix apricots, along with all remaining ingredients, into the wild rice.
Add 2 cups of water and stir to combine.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake until tender, about 80 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Healthy, because
Whole grains provide the body with plenty of fiber. They stimulate digestion, improve blood-fat levels, and keep you full for many hours.
Even smarter
Try the grain before taking it out: if it is still too firm, add about 100 ml of water and cook until it is completely absorbed.
