WILD RICE, ALMOND AND MUSHROOM STUFFING
Wild rice can be the base of a satisfying and refined Thanksgiving stuffing, particularly when it is combined with mushrooms, almonds, sherry and herbs, as it is here. Use this savory mixture to stuff a turkey to serve to the omnivores at your table, or bake it separately and serve it as a side dish, one that is especially good for vegetarians and vegans.

Steps:
- Bring stock to a boil in a large saucepan, then add wild rice and salt to taste. When the liquid returns to the boil, lower heat, cover and simmer 40 minutes, until rice is tender and has begun to splay. Drain through a strainer, and set aside.
- Heat oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet, then add onion or shallots. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about five minutes for onions or three minutes for shallots. Add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic. Cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add mushrooms and celery and cook, stirring, until mushrooms have softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in rice and remaining ingredients. Cook, stirring, until sherry has evaporated. Taste and adjust seasonings.
- Remove from the heat, and allow to cool before stuffing your turkey. Or place in an oiled baking dish and cover, then warm for 20 to 30 minutes in a 350-degree oven.

WILD RICE, ALMOND AND MUSHROOM STUFFING (OR PILAF)
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.

- In a very large skillet or flameproof casserole, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Add in the leeks and cook/stir often, until tender, about 5 minutes; add to the wild rice.

Tips:
- Use a variety of mushrooms. This will add depth of flavor to your stuffing. Some good options include shiitake, cremini, and oyster mushrooms.
- Toast the wild rice before cooking it. This will help to bring out its nutty flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. This will prevent them from browning properly.
- Season the stuffing to taste. You may want to add additional herbs, spices, or salt and pepper.
- Let the stuffing cool slightly before serving. This will help it to hold its shape.
