(Editor’s note: this was orginally pubished in 2021.) Tashia Hart is putting together a cookbook featuring manoomin (wild rice) and other wild foods of Minnesota. This was published by the Minnesota Historical Society Press in the fall of 2021. I like to cook and she asked me for my manoomin recipe. At first I was honored she asked me, then I was worried because it’s such a simple recipe and I wanted it to be fancier somehow.
