CRANBERRY-WILD RICE STUFFING



Cranberry-Wild Rice Stuffing image

Bread stuffing is classic for Thanksgiving, but it isn't the only choice. In this recipe by the cookbook author Nancy Harmon Jenkins, wild rice takes on the starchy role, while sausage and cranberries lend richness and tang. You can mix the elements together one day ahead, then bake just before serving.

Provided by Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Categories     side dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound wild rice
1 bay leaf
6 tablespoons butter, more for greasing baking dish
2 medium yellow onions, diced
4 Italian-style sweet fennel sausages
3 cups cranberries (258 grams)
2 teaspoons kosher salt (12 grams), or to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 to 3 teaspoons chopped fresh sage (optional)

Steps:

  • Place wild rice in a saucepan and pour over just enough boiling water to cover. Set aside, covered, for one hour. Drain rice. Add fresh boiling water to cover by half an inch, and the bay leaf. Bring to a simmer and cook gently until rice is soft but not mushy, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well, discard bay leaf, and set aside.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 2-quart gratin dish or a 9x13 baking dish if not stuffing into a turkey.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a sauté pan over medium heat and gently cook the onions until soft, about 7 minutes. Remove skins from sausages and add sausage meat to the pan with the onions. Raise the heat to medium-high and cook, crumbling the sausage with a fork, until it is browned. Remove from the heat and stir in the wild rice.
  • Rinse cranberries, picking them over and discarding any that are spoiled. Chop them roughly or process them briefly in a food processor. Add to the sausage-rice mixture and mix well. Add salt, pepper and sage if using and stir to combine. Taste for seasoning.
  • Either stuff into a turkey or pour into the prepared dish. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter into small pieces and dot the top. Cover the dish with foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden. Serve warm.

WILD RICE, APPLE, AND DRIED-CRANBERRY STUFFING



Wild Rice, Apple, and Dried-Cranberry Stuffing image

Categories     Fruit     Herb     Side     Bake     Thanksgiving     Stuffing/Dressing     Cranberry     Apple     Fall     Wild Rice     Gourmet     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups water
1 cup wild rice
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 pound crusty white bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (6 cups)
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, plus 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter or reserved fat from turkey
2 cups diced (1/3 inch) onion
2 cups diced (1/3 inch) celery
2 cups diced (1/3 inch) apple
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried, crumbled
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh marjoram or 1/2 teaspoon dried, crumbled
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup dried cranberries (5 ounces)
1 cup turkey stock or chicken broth

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, then add rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until rice is tender and most grains are split open, 1 to 1 1/4 hours (not all liquid will be absorbed). Drain well in a colander and spread out in a baking pan to cool completely.
  • Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spread bread cubes in a shallow baking pan and bake in upper third of oven until dry, about 20 minutes.
  • Melt 1 stick butter in a large nonstick skillet over moderate heat, then cook onion and celery, stirring, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add apple and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in herbs, pepper, and remaining teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with rice, bread, and dried cranberries.
  • Increase oven temperature to 450°F and butter a shallow 3-quart baking dish (13 by 9 inches).
  • Spread stuffing evenly in baking dish and drizzle with turkey stock and melted butter. Bake, covered tightly with foil, in upper third of oven until heated through, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake until top is browned, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and more vibrant color than frozen cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, frozen cranberries will work just fine.
  • Rinse the wild rice before cooking. This will remove any dirt or debris from the rice.
  • Use a large baking dish. The rice will expand as it cooks, so it's important to use a large baking dish so that the rice has plenty of room to spread out.
  • Don't overcook the rice. Wild rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked wild rice will be mushy.
  • Let the bake rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the rice to firm up.

Conclusion:

Cranberry Wild Rice Bake is a delicious and festive side dish that is perfect for holiday gatherings. It's easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. With its vibrant color and nutty flavor, Cranberry Wild Rice Bake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
