CREAMY WILD MUSHROOM AND WILD RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Make the bread crumbs -- In a small food processor, take a couple slices of bread and process till you get fine crumbs. Measure out 1 1/2 cups. Then you can either buy ground or chopped fine pecans or you can grind your own. I like to buy the small 1/2 cup packages when I only need a small amount. In a large saute pan, add the the butter and melt on medium high, add the bread crumbs and nuts and cook until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes is all it takes. Remove and let cool.
• Rice -- Make the rice according to directions. Any time I cook with rice, couscous, etc., I try to use chicken or vegetable broth rather than water to cook the grains. It just adds so much flavor with little work, but that is optional. Cook the rice and add to a 13x9 greased (or sprayed with pam) casserole dish.
• Vegetables -- In that same pan we made the bread crumbs in (no need to use another pan), heat the olive oil and butter on medium heat and add the fennel, onions and mushrooms and cook on medium until they have become translucent and the mushrooms tender, about 7-10 minutes. then add the thyme, parsley salt and pepper and mix well. Add this to the rice in the casserole dish and lightly mix.
• Sauce -- Once again in that same pan, add the butter and melt on medium, then add the flour and mix to make a roux. Let it cook just a minute. Now add the milk and stir well. Add in the sherry and then the seasoning. Bring to a medium boil just until it slightly thickens and then add in the shredded cheese and stir. Cook until nice a creamy and thick. Should resemble a nice cheese sauce. Pour this mixture over the rice and vegetables. Lightly toss to combine.
• Topping -- Top with those bread crumbs and bake at 350 for 20 minutes until bubbly and the bread crumbs are golden brown.

CREAMY CHICKEN AND WILD RICE SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Cook rice according to directions on package; set aside.
• 2. Add broth to a large pot and bring to boil over a medium heat. You can add salt and pepper to season. Be careful to not over salt. You can always add additional seasoning at the end of cooking.
• 3. Remove any skin and excess fat from chicken pieces; sprinkle pieces with seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder,and everglade seasoning). NOTE: If you have chicken skin you can cook/fry it down in a seperate skillet for the grease that can be used later to make a roux that will thicken the soup.
• 4. NOTE: Don't bypass this step. Searing the chicken (most especially the breast) will make it nice and moist in the end. Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and brown on all sides. Once browned, remove from skillet and add to boiling broth. (NOTE: Reserve drippings from skillet to saute veggies). Continue cooking chicken in broth until it is cooked through and tender.
• 5. Once chicken is cooked and tender, remove from broth and set aside until cool enough to handle. Cut into bite size pieces, discarding any bones. Return chicken pieces back to hot broth.
• 6. Meanwhile; add chopped vegetable (onions, carrots, celery and garlic) to hot skillet; saute until onions are tender.
• 7. With slotted spoon, remove veggies from skillet (again reserving any drippings) and add to broth. Add thyme and mushrooms to broth. Continue cooking until carrots are tender.
• 8. To the skillet add additional oil/grease to have about 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil/grease in skillet. Heat over a medium heat. When oil is hot, add flour; whisk to make a smooth paste. Add cream and continue whisking. As roux/gravy thickens, ladle some of the broth from pot into gravy. Continue whisking until smooth and thickened. Pour gravy/roux into hot broth. This will thicken the soup making it a creamy soup. If you don't want a creamy soup, you can leave this step out.
• 9. Add cooked rice to soup, continue to heat another minute or 2 and then serve with your favorite bread. We love a nice crusty roll.
• 10. NOTE: You can used pre-cooked chicken if you like. Chicken you've picked up at the deli or oven roasted would work well. If you use pre-cooked, add it to the soup when you add the rice.
