Categories     Starches, Side Dish

Time 55m

Yield 8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounce (2 to 21/2 cups, depending on the size) farfel or egg barley, toasted
4 ounce (1 sticks or 1/2 cup) unsalted butter, or a combinator of peanut oil and chicken schmaltz to equal same
2 large (1 pound) yellow onions, chopped (about 2 cups)
12 ounce (3/4 pound) mushrooms, button, portobello, romano, or a combination, sliced or chopped
2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper plus more to taste
1 large egg (optional)
1/4 cup soup stock, chicken or vegetable (optional)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water (4 quarts water with 1 tablespoon kosher salt) to a boil. Add the toasted farfel and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, but do not rinse. In a large saucepan, heat the butter or shmaltz mixture (based on if you want it meat or dairy). Add the onions and saute until translucent, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and continue cooking, stirring often, until the mushrooms have given off most of their water and the mushrooms and onions are soft, about 30 minutes. Stir the farfel into the sauteed mushrooms and onions adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. If you are going to bake the farfel, stir in the egg and/or soup broth (if using). Transfer to a greased 2-quart baking dish. You can store the farfel covered in the refrigerator at this point for up to 2 days. Before serving, preheat oven to 350. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the top browns and the farfel is heated through. Notes: You should be able to tell if your farfel is untoasted by the color: untoasted, it has the pale yellow color similar to other egg noodles; toasted it is somewhere between beige and golden brown. If yours is untoasted, you should toast it before you proceed with this recipe: preheat the oven to 300. Spread the farfel out on a cookie sheet and set in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until the pasta has turned a dark beige or golden brown. Periodically rake the pasta with a large spoon or spatula to ensure it toasts evenly. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature before proceeding.

Wild Rice and Mushroom Casserole image

This hearty mix of wild rice, creamy white beans and aromatic vegetables (spinach, leeks, fennel and mushrooms) makes a satisfying meatless main course or a very substantial side dish for Thanksgiving - and beyond. If you want to go all out, use some exotic mushrooms such as chanterelles, maitake (hen of the woods) or black trumpet, but a basic combination of cremini and shiitake mushrooms also works perfectly.

Time 1h45m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 1/4 cups vegetable, mushroom or chicken broth or stock
Fine sea salt
1 1/4 cups wild rice, rinsed
10 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
1 pound sliced mushrooms, preferably a mix of different kinds
3 leeks, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
2 fennel bulbs, trimmed and chopped
5 ounces baby spinach (about 4 cups)
7 fat garlic cloves (4 chopped, 3 finely grated or crushed into a paste)
1/2 tablespoon tomato paste
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 (14-ounce) cans white beans (7 cups)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro (or basil)
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 1/2 cups panko or coarse bread crumbs
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Flaky sea salt, for garnish

Steps:

  • Taste broth; if bland, season to taste with salt. In a medium pot, bring broth to a boil over high heat. Stir in rice, lower heat, cover and simmer until just tender, about 40 minutes or according to package directions. Fluff rice with a fork, cover and let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, sauté vegetables: In a large, heavy skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over high heat. Add half the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until brown and crispy, about 8 minutes. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning. Transfer cooked mushrooms to a plate and sprinkle lightly with salt. Repeat with remaining mushrooms and another tablespoon oil, adding more oil to the skillet if it looks dry.
  • In the empty skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Stir in leeks, fennel and 1 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until soft but not browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in spinach, chopped garlic, tomato paste and red pepper flakes, and cook until garlic starts turning golden, another 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees, and oil a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish.
  • In a blender, purée 2 cans beans with their liquid, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 grated garlic clove, and salt to taste. (If your beans are unsalted, they might need more than you'd think.)
  • Stir bean purée, remaining whole beans (drained), mushrooms, cilantro, parsley and cooked wild rice into skillet with vegetables. Taste and add more salt or lemon as needed; it should be well seasoned. Scrape into prepared baking dish.
  • In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, rosemary, lemon zest, remaining 2 grated garlic cloves and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir in 1/4 cup olive oil and Parmesan, if using.
  • Sprinkle evenly on top of casserole and bake until golden, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving, topped with flaky sea salt.

FARRO WITH MUSHROOMS



Farro With Mushrooms image

Farro is chewier than Italian rice and doesn't release starch when it's cooked, so there's no need to stir it the way you'd stir a risotto. This hearty dish has a rich, earthy flavor. Although it takes about twice as long as a risotto to cook, it doesn't require tending.

Categories     dinner, weekday, one pot, main course, side dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 ounce (1/2 cup, approximately) dried porcini mushrooms
1 quart chicken stock or vegetable stock
1 1/2 cups farro
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 pound cremini mushrooms or wild mushrooms (or a mixture of the two), cleaned, trimmed and sliced
Salt to taste
2 large garlic cloves, green shoots removed, minced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 cup dry white wine
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 to 2 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated (1/4 to 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place the farro in a bowl, and pour on enough hot water to cover by an inch. Let soak while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Drain.
  • Place the dried mushrooms in a large Pyrex measuring cup or bowl, and pour in 2 cups boiling water. Let sit 30 minutes.
  • Drain the mushrooms through a strainer set over a bowl and lined with cheesecloth or a paper towel. Squeeze the mushrooms over the strainer, then rinse in several changes of water to remove grit. Chop coarsely if the pieces are large and set aside. Add the broth from the mushrooms to the stock. You should have 6 cups (add water if necessary). Place in a saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Season with salt to taste.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet. Add the onion. Cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, about three minutes. Add the fresh mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until they begin to soften and sweat. Add salt to taste, the garlic and rosemary. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms are tender, about five minutes. Add the farro and reconstituted dried mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until the grains of farro are separate and beginning to crackle, about two minutes. Stir in the wine and cook, stirring until the wine has been absorbed. Add all but about 1 cup of the stock, and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer 50 minutes or until the farro is tender; some of the grains will be beginning to splay. Remove the lid, and stir vigorously from time to time. Taste and adjust seasoning. There should be some liquid remaining in the pot but not too much. If the farro is submerged in stock, raise the heat and cook until there is just enough to moisten the grains, like a sauce. If there is not, stir in the remaining stock. If not serving right away, cover and let stand. Just before serving, bring back to a simmer, add the Parmesan, parsley and pepper, and stir together. Remove from the heat and serve.
