A Bite Inspired by… Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969 Film):
Wild rice is among the most versatile, delicious, and healthy of grains. It’s naturally gluten-free, as well as high in fiber and other nutrients. My “Wild” Wild Rice recipe takes the already delicious flavors of wild rice to the next level. This bold dish is inspired by the 1969 Western film “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”. Whether you choose to serve it as a side dish or an entrée, this dish will bring excitement and adventure to your dinner table.

Haha…I love the inspiration for this Wild Wild Rice! Wild rice is seriously one of my favorite side dishes of all time…and I just realized reading your post that I haven’t had it in ages. I definitely need to fix that problem. Probably tonight. And maybe try to find Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid on Netflix while I make it! 🙂

Love it, David! Glad I could inspire you! 🙂 Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoy your wild rice/wild west evening!

I love how all your recipes are inspired by movies or tv shows! 😀 It’s so unique! …and I would never knock ketchup and soy sauce combos – well because I’m asian haha and those are very familiar flavour combinations to me and you are right they are very tasty! Combined with the wild rice would make this even better! Don’t you love the texture of the wild rice? So chewy!! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Alyssa says
Thank you Joyce!! My mom is Asian, so I definitely grew up on ketchup and soy sauce as well. That’s actually how I came up with this recipe. She adds ketchup and soy sauce to fried rice, so I thought I would try it with wild rice. I was SUPER happy with the results! So I guess in a way, the real inspiration for this dish is my mom. Definitely agree that wild rice has an amazingly unique texture. One of my favorites for sure! Thanks again!
Danielle says
I absolutely love wild rice and what an interesting recipe! Soy sauce and ketchup is such a different combination, and I love it! I am super excited to try this ketchup and soy sauce combo.
