If the loin is too long to place flat in roaster or Dutch oven, cut in two. (Sear all sides.) Add ½ cup cleaned, peeled wild onions (bulb end only), and ¼ cup cleaned, peeled wild garlic. Saute lightly. Add water, mushrooms, and salt. Simmer uncovered for three hours. Add wild rice, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Uncover and simmer for 20 minutes more or until rice is tender.
