HARVEST WILD RICE



Harvest Wild Rice image

Categories     Bean     Mushroom     Rice     Side     Sauté     Thanksgiving     Cranberry     Leek     Chill     Hazelnut     Gourmet     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups chicken broth
3 cups water
1/2 pound dried flageolets* or Great Northern beans, picked over
3/4 cup wild rice (about 4 ounces)
2 large leeks, white and pale green parts only
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced thin
1/4 cup hazelnuts, toasted and skinned and chopped coarse
1/4 cup dried cranberries*
*available at specialty foods shops

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan simmer broth, water, and beans, covered, 45 minutes. Stir in wild rice and simmer, covered, 45 minutes, or until beans and rice are tender. Drain rice mixture and return to pan.
  • Cut leeks crosswise into 1/2-inch slices and in a bowl soak in water, agitating occasionally to dislodge any sand, 5 minutes. Lift leeks out of water and drain in a colander. In a non-stick skillet sauté leeks in butter over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms with salt to taste and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Stir leek mixture into rice mixture. Rice mixture may be made up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat mixture, adding water to prevent it from sticking to skillet, before proceeding.
  • Stir hazelnuts and cranberries into rice mixture and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice: Short-grain rice, such as Japanese or sushi rice, is best for making harvest rice dishes because it has a sticky texture that helps hold the grains together.
  • Rinse the rice: Rinsing the rice before cooking removes the starch and helps prevent it from becoming gummy.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Add flavorings: You can add a variety of flavorings to your harvest rice dish, such as vegetables, meat, poultry, or seafood. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
  • Let the rice rest: After cooking, let the rice rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help it absorb any remaining moisture and make it easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Harvest rice dishes are a delicious and versatile way to enjoy the flavors of the season. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be one that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, try one of these harvest rice dishes. You won't be disappointed!
