Add wild rice to remaining water in pan and simmer, covered, until tender and grains are split open, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
2. Drain bulgur and wild rice together in a large colander.
3. Saute leeks, onion, carrots, celery and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in rice and bulgur wheat and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 5-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
