RICE COOKER POLENTA (AKA NO STIR POLENTA)

Rice Cooker Polenta (Aka No Stir Polenta) image

I am getting tired I guess so when I recently tried another cooking method for a favorite recipe and it was fast, easy and fun I wanted to branch out so I have been working out some other recipes for the same low work approcah. I prefer to add in extras after the polenta is cooked (like cheese for example). Good luck!

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter, divided
½ cup instant long grain and wild rice
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
5 cups water, divided
2 cups dry polenta
¾ cup sharp Cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pot set over medium heat. Add the wild rice, garlic, sage and rosemary; cook and stir until the rice is coated and the mixture is fragrant. Pour in 2 cups of the water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
After the 10 minutes, increase the heat to medium and stir in the polenta. Gradually stir in the remaining water as the polenta absorbs it. When all of the water is absorbed, mix in the remaining butter and Cheddar cheese. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently for about 20 minutes.
Butter a large baking dish and pour the mixture into it. Spread into an even layer if necessary and set aside to cool and become firm.
When the mixture cools, tap it out onto a cutting board and cut into circles using a large glass or cookie cutter. Grill or fry patties until golden on the outside. Serve with your favorite toppings.

Tips:

Choose the right polenta. For this recipe, it's best to use a coarse-ground polenta, which will give the burgers a more substantial texture.
Cook the polenta properly. Be sure to cook the polenta according to the package directions, until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
Use a good quality wild rice. Wild rice can vary in quality, so be sure to choose a brand that you trust.
Don't overmix the burger mixture. Overmixing can make the burgers tough, so be sure to mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Use a burger press to shape the burgers. This will help to ensure that the burgers are evenly cooked.
Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite toppings. Some good options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Polenta and wild rice burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a new burger recipe, give these polenta and wild rice burgers a try.
