Shopping Tip: The fat content of ground bison (buffalo) is not always labeled and varies depending on the producer. We used Great Range Brand, found in major supermarkets across the country�it has 4 grams of saturated fat per serving. You can substitute 90-lean ground beef.
Kitchen Tip: Be sure to plan ahead for cooking the wild rice�it takes 40 to 50 minutes. To cut down on cooking time, look for "quick" wild rice�a whole-grain rice that cooks in less than 30 minutes�or "instant" wild rice that's done in 10 minutes or less. Tip: To oil the grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.) When grilling delicate foods like tofu and fish, it is helpful to spray the food with cooking spray.
