Time 20m

Yield 6 - 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Salt
2 cups wild rice
1 cup wheat berries, soaked in 3 cups water overnight and drained
3/4 cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons canola oil or other neutral oil
6 medium or 3 large portobello mushrooms, cleaned, stemmed and in large dice (3 cups)
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
2 small shallots, minced
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons walnut oil

Steps:

  • Bring two medium pots salted water to a boil over high heat. Add wild rice to one and wheat berries to another, reduce heat to medium, and cook until tender, 30 to 35 minutes for wild rice and 20 to 25 minutes for wheat berries.
  • While grains cook, put cranberries in small bowl, and cover with hot water. Soak 15 minutes, drain, and chop. Set aside.
  • Heat canola oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, and sauté, stirring frequently, until mushrooms soften and begin to release their liquid, 8 to 10 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper, and transfer to a warm serving bowl. Stir in walnuts, shallots, parsley and cranberries.
  • When grains are tender, drain them, and add them to bowl. Drizzle with walnut oil, and toss gently. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I would make this recipe again, but I would make a few changes. I would add more mushrooms and cranberries, and I would also use a different type of nut, such as pecans or almonds.

I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The wild rice was a bit undercooked for my liking. Otherwise, the dish was delicious.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning.
