Rice?  Yep, it’s totally grillable.  This recipe for wild rice packs in the flavor with chicken broth, fresh vegetables, and of course, that delicious smoke from the grill.  Here's how to grill rice!

Ingredients (serves 4):

1 cup wild rice
3 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon butter
½ cup chopped onion
½  cup chopped celery
½ cup chopped mushrooms

Directions:

1.    Arrange grill so that coals are all on one side.
