WILD RICE AND MUSHROOM CASSEROLE



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.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, casseroles, grains and rice, main course, side dish

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.

WILD RICE AND MUSHROOM PILAF



Wild Rice and Mushroom Pilaf image

A delicious alternative to serving plain rice. This recipe is from the local grocery store with a few modifications. This recipe is made with fresh mushrooms, not canned or jarred.

Provided by ChezNicolette

Categories     Rice

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup uncooked wild rice
3/4 cup uncooked brown rice (not instant)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans beef broth
1 1/2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms
1 1/2 cups sliced shiitake mushroom caps
2 medium shallots, chopped
5 chopped garlic cloves
3 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Combine wild rice, brown rice, and beef broth in a 3-quart sauce pan. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to Low. Cover and simmer 50-55 minutes until rice is tender.
  • Meanwhile, slice mushrooms. Chop shallot. Chop (or crush) garlic.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over Medium heat. Saute shallots 3 minutes. Stir in garlic; add mushrooms, salt and pepper. Saute 4 minutes or until mushrooms are dark and tender.
  • When rice is finished cooking, toss mushroom mixture with rice and serve while hot.
  • Special note: The recipe originally says to drain the rice. I've never had any extra liquid to drain, but I use a different rice as well. To make the recipe easier for me I bought a rice mixture at my store called "Royal Blend". I highly recommend it since it contains Texmati white, brown, wild, and red rice. This might be the reason no draining is necessary. If you are able to find this rice and buy it, use 1 1/2 cups of it instead of the 3/4 cup of both rice.

WILD RICE, ALMOND AND MUSHROOM STUFFING (OR PILAF)



Wild Rice, Almond and Mushroom Stuffing (Or Pilaf) image

Stashing this gem to use on the side of our Christmas smoked turkey. It may also grace the New Year's table alongside the collards & black-eyed peas & roasted pork shoulder. Found in The New York Times by Martha Rose Shulman - the recipe indicates this makes enough to stuff a 14 - 18 pound turkey, hence my guess at 10 - 14 servings. This pilaf can be made a day or two ahead and kept in the refrigerator to reheat before serving. Nice as it is easily made vegetarian by using vegetable stock.

Provided by Busters friend

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 1h25m

Yield 10-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 quarts chicken stock (turkey stock & vegetable stock fine too)

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND SHIITAKE MUSHROOM WILD RICE RISOTTO



Butternut Squash and Shiitake Mushroom Wild Rice Risotto image

A pretty fall risotto with lots of color and texture. This dish makes a great meatless main course or an elegant side dish.

Provided by LoveNRoquette

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Rice     Risotto Recipes

Time 1h40m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 ounces dried sliced shiitake mushrooms
4 cups water
4 cups cubed butternut squash
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup
4 cups vegetable stock
3 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 cup wild rice
2 cups Arborio rice
1 cup dry white wine
1 (4 ounce) container crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Combine the shiitake mushrooms and water in a bowl, assuring the mushrooms are covered with water; allow to soak until the mushrooms have softened, about 30 minutes. Drain and reserve the liquid for later use.
  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Toss the butternut squash, olive oil, and maple syrup together in a bowl until the squash is evenly coated. Spread onto a baking sheet.
  • Roast the squash in the preheated oven until tender yet retains its shape, about 30 minutes; set aside.
  • Bring the vegetable stock and the reserved liquid from the mushrooms to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat; when the butter begins to foam, stir the onion into the butter and cook until the onions are soft and golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the wild rice and the Arborio rice through the onions until evenly mixed and coated. Add the white wine and mushrooms to the onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has been absorbed, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Pour enough of the simmering stock mixture into the skillet to cover the rice; cook and stir until the liquid is nearly completely absorbed. Continue adding stock about 3/4 cups at a time, allowing each batch to absorb into the mixture before adding the next. Cook and stir until the rice is tender, about 35 minutes total.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, ensure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will make the cooking process smoother and more efficient.
  • Choose Fresh Mushrooms: Opt for fresh mushrooms for the best flavor and texture. If using dried mushrooms, rehydrate them according to the package instructions before using.
  • Sauté Mushrooms Properly: Cook the mushrooms in a hot pan with a little bit of butter or oil, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and tender.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your dish well. A combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme works great with mushrooms and wild rice.
  • Use Good Quality Broth: The broth you use will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Use a flavorful broth, such as chicken or vegetable broth, for the best results.
  • Cook Wild Rice Properly: Wild rice takes longer to cook than other types of rice. Cook it according to the package instructions, or use the absorption method: bring the rice and broth to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Before serving, garnish your mushroom wild rice with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, for a pop of color and extra flavor.
