Thanks Kate - and you’re right, the cooking time on the wild rice may vary depending on your source. The whole grain wild rice I use sometimes takes longer than 45 minutes to cook. Follow the cooking time instructions on your wild rice, then 15 minutes before it is done, add the buckwheat. Hope that helps!

This is a very tasty recipe. Caution: the grains were too mushy for my taste following the suggested cooking time. Adjust the water & cooking time for your wild rice (different sources may vary). I added sliced celery and a crumbled French feta over the top.

To add to Pamela’s comment, although they are in different genera, they are part of the same tribe and are thus fairly closely related. Wild rice is not a misnomer.

Rice and wild rice are in the same family, both members of the grass family (as are gluten-bearing grains, oats, millet, sorghum, teff, and others). They are, however, in a different genus than rice.
