Herbed Wild Rice & Quinoa Stuffing image

Specked with fresh herbs, apples, cranberries, and pecans, everyone will love this flavor-filled stuffing - and nobody will guess its little secret: it's vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free! Plus, the addition of protein-rich quinoa gives this hearty stuffing main-dish cred - perfect for those that prefer to skip the turkey.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil + more for greasing the baking dish + more for drizzling over the top
1 large yellow onion (finely chopped)
2 stalks celery (chopped (about 1/2 cup))
2 medium Granny Smith apples (peeled and diced)
2 medium cloves garlic (peeled and finely minced)
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves (minced)
1 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
1/2 cup dry-ish white wine (I like Sauv Blanc for both cooking and drinking; Chardonnay would work well too)
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
2 cups uncooked wild rice blend (I prefer a blend of 50% wild rice and 50% brown rice)
1 cup uncooked quinoa (rinsed well)
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
1 cup raw pecans (chopped)
1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley + 1/4 cup more for topping after baking
1/4 cup fresh sage leaves (minced)

Steps:

  • Place a large pot over medium heat. Add the oil. When hot, add the onions and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the apples, garlic, thyme, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, for one more minute. Stir in wine, then add broth. Bring to a boil. Stir in the wild rice blend and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, covered, until the rice is tender, about 35 minutes. Stir in the quinoa and cover again. Cook until the quinoa is tender, about 15 more minutes. Stir in the cranberries, pecans, 1/2 cup parsley, and sage. Taste and add additional salt if desired. Remove from heat.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Rub a large (9-inch x 13-inch is best) casserole dish with a little olive oil. Lightly scoop the rice mixture into the casserole dish, lightly mounding it instead of mashing it down.
  • Bake until golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and sprinkle with remaining chopped parsley. Serve.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 6h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 -1 1/2 lb chicken tenders
6 -8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 -3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 teaspoon butter
1 (6 ounce) box chicken flavored long grain and wild rice blend
1 (10 ounce) can cream of chicken soup (if you can find the herbed cream soup, it is best)
1 cup water
1 teaspoon herbs (mixture of your choice, parsley, thyme, tarragon, etc.)

Steps:

  • Saute the chicken pieces and mushrooms in oil and butter until chicken is very lightly browned.
  • Place bacon on bottom of 3 1/2 quart or larger crockpot.

  • Place chicken tenders over rice.
  • Pour soup over chicken, then add water.
  • Top with seasonings and sprinkle with herb mixture.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours, or until rice is tender.
  • NOTE: Some of the boxed rice mixes may already be combined with the seasonings.
  • That is not problem.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to your dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
  • Don't overcook the rice: Wild rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight chew to it. Overcooking will make it mushy.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will add a lot of flavor to the dish, so choose one that you like. Chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth are all good options.
  • Add herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to the dish. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs can add a pop of color and flavor to the dish. Some good options include parsley, cilantro, and basil.

Conclusion:

Herbed wild rice is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With its nutty flavor and chewy texture, wild rice is a great addition to any meal.
