Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups self-rising cornmeal mix, such as Aunt Jemima
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons self-rising flour
1 egg
Pinch baking soda
3 tablespoons bacon grease
5 cups chicken stock
1 cup wild rice
4 tablespoons butter
2 cups fresh corn kernels
2 cups chopped yellow onions
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup diced red pepper
2 tablespoons minced garlic
Salt
8 ounces diced, smoked ham
1 cup pine nuts, toasted
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 eggs
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the cornmeal mix, buttermilk (a little at a time), flour, egg and baking soda in a bowl. Heat a cast-iron skillet, add the bacon grease and once the grease is hot, transfer 2 tablespoons of the grease from the skillet to the cornbread mixture. Mix the grease into the cornbread mixture and pour the cornbread mixture into the sizzling hot skillet. Bake until you can't see a finger print in the top of the bread when you lightly press it, about 20 minutes. Cool, cube into 8 cups, and toast.
  • For the dressing: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. To cook the rice, combine 2 cups of the stock, 2 cups water and rice in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover and cook until the rice is tender, about 1 hour. Drain the rice and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter and let brown slightly in a large pan. Add the corn, onions, celery, red peppers, garlic and a pinch salt and sweat the vegetables until tender. Add the ham and pine nuts and cook over low heat, about 2 minutes. Set aside to slightly cool.
  • Whisk together the remaining 3 cups stock, cream, parsley and eggs and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Combine the rice, vegetable/ham mixture, stock/cream mixture and Sherla's Cornbread in a 4-quart lasagna pan and cook, covered, about 30 minutes. Uncover the pan and cook until crusty, about 20 minutes.

HOLIDAY STUFFING WITH MUSHROOMS, PINE NUTS, SAUSAGE, WILD RICE



Holiday Stuffing With Mushrooms, Pine Nuts, Sausage, Wild Rice image

This is a recipe that has been passed down from a friend of a family member, and I've fiddled with it and adapted it to my own tastes over the years. These days, I actually make my own skillet corn bread to cube and dry for this recipe, but to fit within food dot com's format rules, I'll just stick with the original recipe's boxed, dried, cornbread stuffing here.

Provided by CarrieOkii

Categories     Pork

Time P1DT3h

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 loaf French bread
1 (12 ounce) box cubed cornbread stuffing mix
2 (12 ounce) packages Jimmy Dean sausage
1/2 lb butter
1 lb fresh white button mushrooms, sliced
2 medium onions, chopped
3 cups celery, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves, chopped (removed from stems)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup pine nuts
1 (4 ounce) box cultivated extra-fancy wild rice
4 cups chicken broth, divided
1/2 cup port wine

Steps:

  • Slice French bread and cut into 1 inch cubes. Spread onto cookie sheet, cover with a flour-sack dish towel, and allow to dry out for 24 hours.
  • Bring 2 cups of chicken broth to a boil in a small saucepan over med-high heat. Add box of wild rice. Cover tightly, reduce heat to medium, and simmer 50-60 minutes. Don't worry if all the broth didn't absorb. Set rice aside. (This step can be done a day ahead and refrigerated until needed.).
  • Place pine nuts in a small, non-stick, saute pan over medium heat. Toast until they are fragrant and start to brown. (Watch them carefully, tossing occasionally, as they can burn easily.) Set aside.
  • Brown and crumble sausage in a frying pan over med-high heat. Pour onto a platter lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onions, and celery and saute for 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and add basil, thyme, rosemary and parsley. Set aside.
  • To assemble, in a large slow cooker, toss together French bread cubes, corn bread cubes, browned sausage, sauteed vegetables and herbs, pine nuts, and wild rice. Add port wine. With the remaining 2 cups of chicken broth, add just enough to the stuffing mixture to make it the moistness of your liking. (You shouldn't add it all if you like it drier.) Place lid on slow cooker and cook stuffing on low for 3 hours. If you desire a crunchier consistency, you can spread the stuffing out in a roasting pan and place in a 350 oven for about 20 minutes, right before serving.
  • (Note: I really don't know exactly how many servings this makes, as serving sizes vary, but it always feeds about 10-12 at our holiday table, with leftovers, too.).

5 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
4 celery ribs, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
5 large cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
8 ounces sweet fennel sausage, casings removed
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 cup Calvados, or white wine
6 cups cooked wild rice
4 cups cooked white rice
20 dried apricot halves, quartered
12 dried pitted prunes, halved
Unsalted butter, for baking dish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spread almonds on a baking pan, and toast until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove pan from oven, and set almonds aside to cool.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan set over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 7 minutes.
  • Increase heat to high, and add rosemary and sage; season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until vegetables are golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat; stir in parsley. Transfer vegetables to a large bowl, and set aside. Return pan to heat.
  • Crumble sausage, separating meat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to saute pan. Add sausage, and cook, stirring and breaking up meat until well browned, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Transfer sausage to bowl with reserved vegetables. Return pan to heat.
  • Add remaining tablespoon olive oil to pan. Add apple, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add Calvados. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up any brown bits on bottom of pan. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 1 minute.
  • Remove pan from heat, and transfer mixture to bowl with sausage and vegetables. Add wild and white rice, apricots, prunes, and reserved toasted almonds. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a buttered baking dish and bake at 375 degrees until browned and heated through.

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful stuffing, use a combination of wild rice and brown rice.
  • Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are fragrant and golden brown.
  • Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, sage, or thyme, to the stuffing for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have pine nuts, you can substitute chopped walnuts or almonds.
  • Be careful not to overcook the stuffing, as it will become dry and crumbly.

Wild rice stuffing with pine nuts is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover wild rice, and it can also be made ahead of time and reheated. This stuffing is also a good source of fiber and protein.
