Wild Rice salad

This is Angry Trout's (a sustainable restaurant in Grand Marais, Minnesota) wild rice salad. It is delicious, easy, and quick, once you've cooked the rice.

2 cups wild rice
3 cups water
1 tbsp oil
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped fresh shiitake mushrooms
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp tamari (soy sauce)
1/3 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup frozen peas
2 ounces chopped toasted hazelnuts

Cook rice and water to tenderness, 20 to 40 minutes. In a frypan, cook onion, mushrooms, celery in oil until tender, then add to cooked rice. Add rest of ingredients and mix well. Enjoy slightly warm or cold. The restaurant serves this salad as a side dish with the entree. I make it often. It really "feeds" me.
