Source: Canadian govt publication

      Yield: 4 servings
 
    1/2 c  Wild rice                         1/2 c  Mushrooms; sliced
  1 1/3 c  -Water; cold                        2 tb Green onion
      1 ts Chicken bouillon                         Thyme; dried
      2    Bacon slice                              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.
