Steps:
- 1. Cook the Wild and Brown Rice in the water about 55 minutes, until all water is absorbed. Turning down temp after you bring to a boil, then simmer for the rest of the cooking. (follow instructions on the bag)
- 2. In a large bowl add the onion, carrots and celery, the two eggs and the breadcrumbs. Stir until completely combined and a good consistency to form the patties, adding extra breadcrumbs if necessary.
- 3. I used an electric skillet heated up to about 350 degrees F. I melted a tablespoon of butter and some olive oil, and formed the patties, put them on the skillet and cooked them (sizzling) for about 10 minutes on each side. Make sure they are good and browned, they get nice and crunchy on the outside!

WILD RICE CAKES
Wild rice varies in quality. Most of what is sold as wild rice is actually cultivated and then mechanically harvested and processed. It is worth the extra cost to buy more flavorful hand-harvested lake- or river-grown wild rice. This recipe goes well served with Perfect Roast Chicken or Duck Roasted in Salt.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 250 degrees.Using a serrated knife, remove crusts from bread. Place trimmed bread on a baking sheet. Transfer to oven, and cook until dry, about 15 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool. In a food processor, chop bread very finely (you need about 1 1/4 cups), and set aside.
- Rinse rice under cold running water until water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil over high heat. Stir in wild rice, and lower heat to medium low. Cook rice, stirring often, until water has evaporated and rice has popped, about 55 minutes. Drain rice through a colander. Set aside to cool.
- Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a medium nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add garlic, and stir until fragrant. Add carrot, celery, and yellow pepper, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, combine cooked wild rice, vegetables, and eggs. Gently fold in breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper. Cover, and refrigerate until the breadcrumbs have absorbed the liquids, about 1 hour.
- Using a 2-ounce ice-cream scoop, firmly pack rice mixture into scoop. Place ball of rice mixture on a baking sheet lined with a Silpat (French nonstick baking mat or parchment paper). Gently press down with your damp palm to flatten rice into a cake. Repeat with remaining rice mixture to form eight cakes.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons canola oil in a medium nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Using a wide spatula, carefully transfer four rice cakes into pan. Saute until lightly browned and set on the edges, about 5 minutes. Gently turn rice cakes, and saute for 5 more minutes. Repeat with remaining rice cakes. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables. Vegetables that hold their shape well, such as carrots, celery, and broccoli, are good choices for roasting. Vegetables that are more delicate, such as tomatoes and spinach, can be added towards the end of the roasting time.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature. This will help them to caramelize and develop a delicious flavor. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
- Toss the vegetables with oil and seasonings before roasting. This will help them to brown evenly and develop a flavorful crust.
- Don't overcrowd the roasting pan. If the vegetables are too crowded, they will steam instead of roast.
- Roast the vegetables until they are tender and slightly charred. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of vegetables you are roasting.
- Serve the roasted vegetables immediately. They are best enjoyed when they are hot and crispy.
- Get creative with your toppings. You can top the roasted vegetables with a variety of ingredients, such as cheese, nuts, seeds, or herbs.
Conclusion:
Roasted vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, try roasting some vegetables. You won't be disappointed!
