Open this box of Tilda Giant Wild Rice and you'll open yourself up to a world of delicious possibilities. Known as the 'caviar of grains' this deliciously nutty grain is actually an aquatic grass highly prized by North Americans for centuries. Giant Wild Rice is higher in protein than most other wholegrains and is at its best when the grains are allowed to pop or "flower' open during cooking, releasing the distinctive smoky aroma. This versatile rice adds contrast and bite to give that special something to salads, stuffings or casseroles. So whether you are planning a gourmet dinner to impress or looking for a luxurious twist to your show stopping pilaf, you are in good hands with us.

Instructions
Hob - From Ambient. How To Cook A Two-Person Portion: 1. Place 120g of Giant Wild Rice in a large saucepan and add 450ml of boiling water. 2. Return to the boil, cover and simmer for 45-50 minutes until the grains have popped. 3. Take off the heat and keep the pan covered for a further 5 minutes then fork through the grains. We like to add a knob of butter, or drizzle with olive oil. To shorten the cooking time, cover generously in boiling water and soak overnight. Drain and cook as above using 300ml of water for 20 minutes.
