Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 quarts chicken stock, turkey stock or vegetable stock
2 cups wild rice
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion or 4 shallots, chopped

Stir in rice and remaining ingredients. Cook, stirring, until sherry has evaporated. Taste and adjust seasonings.

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 ratherbeswimmin

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 2h15m

Yield 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup dried cherries or 3/4 cup dried cranberries
2/3 cup tawny port or 2/3 cup ruby port
3 cups wild rice, well rinsed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 medium leeks, cleaned and sliced (white part only)
1 lb mixed wild mushroom, sliced (cremini, shiitakes, and chanterelles)
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning (Homemade Poultry Seasoning)
1 cup hazelnuts, toasted and skinned and chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup turkey broth (optional) or 1/2 cup chicken broth (optional)

Steps:

  • Add the dried cherries to a small bowl and add in the port wine; let stand while making the stuffing.
  • Bring a big pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat; add in the wild rice; decrease heat to medium.
  • Boil uncovered until the rice is barely tender (some of the grains may have burst), about 45 minutes.
  • Drain the rice into a sieve and rinse under cold water until cooled; drain well and place in a large bowl.
  • In a very large skillet or flameproof casserole, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  • Add in the leeks and cook/stir often, until tender, about 5 minutes; add to the wild rice.
  • In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter; add in the mushrooms and cook over med-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms give off their juices, about 5 minutes.
  • Add in the port with cherries and the poultry seasoning and boil until the liquid is reduced to about 1/2 cup, 6-8 minutes.
  • Stir the mushrooms and port into the bowl of wild rice; add in the hazelnuts, parsley, salt, and pepper; mix well.
  • Transfer to a lightly buttered casserole, drizzle with broth, cover, and bake in preheated 350° oven until heated, about 30 minutes (for crustier stuffing, remove cover for last 15 minutes of cook time).

Tips:

  • Use a variety of wild rice. Different types of wild rice have different flavors and textures, so using a mix will give your stuffing a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Toast the wild rice before cooking. This will help to bring out the nutty flavor of the rice.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth you use to cook the wild rice will add a lot of flavor to the stuffing, so choose a broth that you like the taste of.
  • Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the stuffing. This will help to brown the mushrooms and bring out their flavor.
  • Add plenty of herbs and spices. Herbs and spices will help to give the stuffing a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overstuff the turkey. Overstuffing the turkey can make it difficult to cook evenly and can also make the stuffing mushy.
  • Let the stuffing rest before serving. This will help the stuffing to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Wild rice and mushroom stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other special occasion. By following the tips above, you can make a stuffing that is flavorful, moist, and perfectly cooked.
