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.

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.

CREAMY WILD MUSHROOM AND WILD RICE CASSEROLE



Creamy Wild Mushroom and Wild Rice Casserole image

This is not just mushroom soup and rice. This combines fresh herbs wild mushrooms, fennel, onions, sherry and a creamy cheesy bechemel sauce, all topped with a crunchy crusty topping. This is a rich decadent side dish which is amazing with roasted turkey, chicken, cornish hens or pork. Using any rice you want, a quick cooking, or any boxed rice, or the old fashioned way. But I take the short cut for this to make my life easier, but either way, the casserole is great.

Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 (6 ounce) box long grain and wild rice blend (3 cups cooked)
4 cups wild mushrooms (a mix of shitaki, crimini, button, oyster, or any combination)
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup fennel, thin sliced
1 1/4 cups onions, diced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 1/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup swiss cheese, shredded (or you can use gruyere which I prefer)
1/4 cup sherry wine
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 cup ground pecans
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Make the bread crumbs -- In a small food processor, take a couple slices of bread and process till you get fine crumbs. Measure out 1 1/2 cups. Then you can either buy ground or chopped fine pecans or you can grind your own. I like to buy the small 1/2 cup packages when I only need a small amount. In a large saute pan, add the the butter and melt on medium high, add the bread crumbs and nuts and cook until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes is all it takes. Remove and let cool.
  • Rice -- Make the rice according to directions. Any time I cook with rice, couscous, etc., I try to use chicken or vegetable broth rather than water to cook the grains. It just adds so much flavor with little work, but that is optional. Cook the rice and add to a 13x9 greased (or sprayed with pam) casserole dish.
  • Vegetables -- In that same pan we made the bread crumbs in (no need to use another pan), heat the olive oil and butter on medium heat and add the fennel, onions and mushrooms and cook on medium until they have become translucent and the mushrooms tender, about 7-10 minutes. then add the thyme, parsley salt and pepper and mix well. Add this to the rice in the casserole dish and lightly mix.
  • Sauce -- Once again in that same pan, add the butter and melt on medium, then add the flour and mix to make a roux. Let it cook just a minute. Now add the milk and stir well. Add in the sherry and then the seasoning. Bring to a medium boil just until it slightly thickens and then add in the shredded cheese and stir. Cook until nice a creamy and thick. Should resemble a nice cheese sauce. Pour this mixture over the rice and vegetables. Lightly toss to combine.
  • Topping -- Top with those bread crumbs and bake at 350 for 20 minutes until bubbly and the bread crumbs are golden brown.

1 1/2 pounds mushrooms, sliced
1 cup dry sherry
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups low-fat milk

Sprinkle with almonds. 6.Bake the casserole until it is bubbling and the almonds are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:
