Man-O-Min (Ojibwa Wild Rice)

Ingredients

1 cup wild rice
4 cups
1 teaspoon salt
Wild rice, called Man-O-Min by the Ojibwa of central Canada, quadruples in size when cooked. 

Procedure

Wash the wild rice in a colander or bowl, changing the water two or three times.
Measure water into a large saucepan; add salt. Heat the water to boiling.
Slowly add the rinsed rice to the boiling water. Lower heat to medium and simmer the rice, undisturbed, for about 40 minutes. (Do not stir the rice.)
The rice grains will swell to four times their original size.
Serve hot or at room temperature.
Serves 12.

Aboriginal peoples living in the region of modern-day British Columbia enjoyed foods such as salmon cooked over an open fire, a popular modern-day delicacy.
