WILD RICE AND MUSHROOM PILAF



Wild Rice and Mushroom Pilaf image

A delicious alternative to serving plain rice. This recipe is from the local grocery store with a few modifications. This recipe is made with fresh mushrooms, not canned or jarred.

Provided by ChezNicolette

Categories     Rice

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup uncooked wild rice
3/4 cup uncooked brown rice (not instant)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans beef broth
1 1/2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms
1 1/2 cups sliced shiitake mushroom caps
2 medium shallots, chopped
5 chopped garlic cloves
3 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Combine wild rice, brown rice, and beef broth in a 3-quart sauce pan. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to Low. Cover and simmer 50-55 minutes until rice is tender.
  • Meanwhile, slice mushrooms. Chop shallot. Chop (or crush) garlic.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over Medium heat. Saute shallots 3 minutes. Stir in garlic; add mushrooms, salt and pepper. Saute 4 minutes or until mushrooms are dark and tender.
  • When rice is finished cooking, toss mushroom mixture with rice and serve while hot.
  • Special note: The recipe originally says to drain the rice. I've never had any extra liquid to drain, but I use a different rice as well. To make the recipe easier for me I bought a rice mixture at my store called "Royal Blend". I highly recommend it since it contains Texmati white, brown, wild, and red rice. This might be the reason no draining is necessary. If you are able to find this rice and buy it, use 1 1/2 cups of it instead of the 3/4 cup of both rice.

WILD RICE, ALMOND AND MUSHROOM STUFFING (OR PILAF)



Wild Rice, Almond and Mushroom Stuffing (Or Pilaf) image

Stashing this gem to use on the side of our Christmas smoked turkey. It may also grace the New Year's table alongside the collards & black-eyed peas & roasted pork shoulder. Found in The New York Times by Martha Rose Shulman - the recipe indicates this makes enough to stuff a 14 - 18 pound turkey, hence my guess at 10 - 14 servings. This pilaf can be made a day or two ahead and kept in the refrigerator to reheat before serving. Nice as it is easily made vegetarian by using vegetable stock.

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 1h25m

Yield 10-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 quarts chicken stock (turkey stock & vegetable stock fine too)
2 cups wild rice
salt, to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped (4 shallots fine too)
4 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 lb mushroom, trimmed and sliced
1 cup celery, chopped
1/3 cup almonds, toasted, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup dry sherry
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves (1 teaspoon dried thyme fine too)
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
1 -2 tablespoon sage, chopped fresh (to taste)
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste

Steps:

  • Bring the stock to a boil in a large saucepan or stock pot, and add the wild rice and salt to taste. When the liquid returns to the boil, lower the heat, cover and simmer 40 minutes, until the rice is tender and has begun to splay. Drain through a strainer, and set aside.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet, and add the onion or shallots. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about five minutes for onions or three minutes for shallots. Add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic. Cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute, and add the mushrooms and the celery. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms have softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the rice and the remaining ingredients. Cook, stirring, until the sherry has evaporated. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Remove from the heat, and allow to cool before stuffing your turkey, or place in an oiled baking dish and cover. Warm for 20 to 30 minutes in a 350-degree oven.

MUSHROOM AND ALMOND RICE PILAF



Mushroom and Almond Rice Pilaf image

A wonderful side dish to almost any meat entree. This works well with any type of rice - brown or white, long-grain or short-grain.

Provided by HappyMommy1422

Categories     Rice

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small onion, chopped
1 cup uncooked rice
1/4 cup margarine
1 can sliced mushroom, and liquid
1/2 cup roasted almonds
1 can beef consomme soup
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Brown onions in margarine.
  • Mix together with remaining ingredients in a shallow baking dish.
  • Bake for 1 hour at 375 degrees.

Tips:

  • Use the right kind of rice: Long-grain rice is the best choice for pilaf because it doesn't get too sticky. Basmati or jasmine rice are good options.
  • Rinse the rice: This removes the starch from the rice, which helps to prevent it from becoming sticky. Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear.
  • Toast the rice: This helps to bring out the flavor of the rice and give it a nutty aroma. Heat the oil or butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes, or until the rice is golden brown.
  • Add the liquid: The liquid you use for pilaf can be water, broth, or a combination of both. If you're using broth, use a low-sodium broth so that the pilaf doesn't become too salty. Add the liquid to the saucepan with the rice and bring it to a boil.
  • Cover the pot and simmer: Once the liquid is boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer the pilaf for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all of the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Fluff the rice: Once the pilaf is cooked, remove it from the heat and fluff it with a fork. This helps to separate the grains of rice and give the pilaf a light and fluffy texture.

Conclusion:

Mushroom and rice pilaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's a great way to use up leftover rice, and it's also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. With its earthy flavor and nutty aroma, mushroom and rice pilaf is a dish that everyone will enjoy.
