DIRTY RICE WITH MUSHROOMS
This vegetarian version of Southern dirty rice replaces the traditional ground beef and chicken livers with hearty mushrooms, creamy black-eyed peas and flavorful spices for a satisfying one-pot meal. The recipe starts with the classic Cajun holy trinity - onion, green bell pepper and celery in equal parts - to create a flavorful foundation. Mushroom broth adds even more depth and reinforces the earthy cremini mushrooms, while a drizzle of hot sauce adds tang and kick. Serve with simple leafy greens or chopped salad.

WILD RICE WITH MUSHROOMS
In Wisconsin, wild rice is truly wild, not cultivated as in other states, the tassels rising and swaying over rivers, lakes and floodplains come late August and September. Called manoomin by the local Chippewa, it is a protected crop that can be harvested only by state residents holding a valid license. And only by hand, as the Chippewa have always done, using wooden flails gently (the grains should fall from the stalk without great effort) from canoes propelled by paddles or push poles. Shellie Holmes of Rhinelander, Wis., who shares her recipe here, likes to cook wild rice just until it pops open. This is a break with her family's tradition, which favored a chewier texture and did not allow popping. "Do not mix with other rice," she urged, lest you lose the flavor of the wild.

Free for the picking, the mushrooms were hung on strings and dried, providing a winter's worth of eating. Wild rice (actually a grass seed) is a New World native that combines well with the earthy mushrooms the French cèpes.

- Toast the wild rice before cooking: Toasting the wild rice before cooking helps to bring out its nutty flavor. To do this, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the wild rice. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5-7 minutes, or until the rice is golden brown and fragrant.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use to cook the wild rice will have a big impact on the final flavor of the dish. We recommend using a chicken broth or vegetable broth that is well-seasoned.
- Add vegetables and herbs: Vegetables and herbs can add a lot of flavor and texture to wild rice. Some good options include mushrooms, onions, celery, carrots, and thyme.
- Cook the wild rice until it is tender but still has a slight bite: Wild rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite. This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.
