Yield Serves 2 as a main dish or 4 a

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup diced yellow onion (1/2-inch dice)
1 1/2 cups long-grained white rice
3 cups water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 lemon slice (1 inch thick)
1 teaspoon minced lemon zest
1 pound fresh asparagus

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan, add the onion, and cook until the onion softens, about 4 minutes. Add the rice and toast the grains, stirring occasionally, until the rice begins to look opaque (bright white), about 4 minutes. Add the water, butter, lemon slice, and lemon zest, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, slice off the tough ends of the asparagus stalks and discard them. Cut the spears on a diagonal into 1-inch lengths. Fill a large non-reactive pot with a steamer rack with 1/2 inch water, place the pot over medium heat, and bring the water to a simmer. Add the asparagus, cover, and cook until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the cooked rice to a serving bowl and toss in the asparagus. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

STIR-FRIED WILD RICE WITH ASPARAGUS AND MUSHROOMS



Stir-Fried Wild Rice With Asparagus and Mushrooms image

A wonderful combination of flavors. Serves 4 as an entree or 6 as a hearty side. Add grilled tofu chunks for more protein. If you can't afford shitake mushrooms, it would probably be good with creminis. Cooking time includes rice, which you can do ahead of time. I cooked the 2 different kinds of rice together in a rice cooker with lots of water for about an hour. Adapted from The One-Dish Vegetarian by Maria Robbins.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and tender asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and snap easily. Avoid spears that are woody or have yellow or brown tips.

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you can also add other vegetables such as potatoes, peas, or corn.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can use homemade chicken broth or a store-bought brand that you like.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or dill add a nice touch of flavor and color to the soup.
