  • Bring water, wild rice, and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Drain any excess liquid, fluff rice with a fork, and cook uncovered 5 minutes more. Set aside.

  • Grill skewers on the preheated grill just until slightly charred, 1 to 3 minutes per side.
