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.

Provided by Busters friend

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.

SOLO CHICKEN MUSHROOM PILAF



Solo Chicken Mushroom Pilaf image

There is usually just enough flavorful liquid in the final dish to prompt me to eat this with a spoon. The natural flavoring of the mushrooms is similar to MSG and when paired with the sweetness of sauted onions, that was enough flavor for me. However Cooking is a Creative Sport, so feel free to add spices. I found that adding a quarter teaspoon of curry powder during step four made a very pleasant variation, and the kitchen smelled wonderful.

Provided by Bill Hilbrich

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 35m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (4 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup diced onion
4 ounces canned mushrooms
1/3 cup uncooked rice
2/3 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Melt the butter with the olive oil in a frying pan that has a tight fitting lid.
  • Add the diced onion and saute until nearly transparent.
  • Dice the chicken breast and add to the pan, stirring until all sides of the meat have turned white.
  • Add the uncooked rice and stir until all of the grains are covered with the cooking fat.
  • Add the mushrooms, and stir.
  • Add the chicken broth, stir and bring up the heat until the liquid starts to simmer.
  • Put on the cover, reduce the heat to the minimum setting and set your timer for 15 minutes and walk away. DO NOT PEEK.
  • After 15 minutes, turn off the heat, DO NOT PEEK and set your time for another 15 minutes, and walk away.
  • Fluff with fork or spoon. Service options might include a small side salad and a cool beverage.

Tips:

  • Use the right type of rice. Long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, works best for pilaf because it cooks evenly and doesn't get sticky.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking. This will help to remove any starch from the rice, which can make it gummy.
  • Toast the rice before cooking. This will help to bring out its flavor and give it a slightly nutty taste.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of the pilaf, so it's important to use a good quality broth that has a lot of flavor.
  • Add vegetables and other ingredients to your pilaf. This will help to make it more flavorful and nutritious.
  • Cook the pilaf over low heat. This will help to prevent the rice from overcooking and becoming mushy.
  • Let the pilaf rest before serving. This will help the rice to absorb all of the flavors of the broth and other ingredients.

Conclusion:

Mushroom pilaf is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect mushroom pilaf every time.
