Best 7 Wild Rice Mushroom And Hazelnut Stuffing Recipes

OVERNIGHT WILD RICE, HAZELNUT & MUSHROOM STUFFING

Steps:

• To make rice: In a large pot, bring water and salt to a boil. Stir in wild rice and return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer rice, stirring occasionally, for about 45 minutes to 1 hour or until very tender. Drain and cool. To make stuffing: Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray and set aside. Place bread cubes and hazelnuts in large mixing bowl and set aside. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, melt butter, then add the onion, celery and mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Saute for about 7 to 8 minutes or until tender. Add cranberries and broth and bring to a simmer. Add mushroom mixture and herbs and cool. Combine cranberry-mushroom mixture with cooked rice, beaten egg, bread and nuts, and toss until bread is thoroughly coated. Add salt and pepper if needed. Place stuffing in baking pan, cover and refrigerate overnight to let flavors develop. When ready to bake, pull out of refrigerator 30 minutes ahead to come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes or until cooked through. For a "crisper" stuffing, bake for a few minutes more.

WILD RICE, ALMOND AND MUSHROOM STUFFING

Steps:

• Bring stock to a boil in a large saucepan, then add wild rice and salt to taste. When the liquid returns to the boil, lower heat, cover and simmer 40 minutes, until rice is tender and has begun to splay. Drain through a strainer, and set aside.
• Heat oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet, then add 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. Add mushrooms and celery and cook, stirring, until mushrooms have softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in rice and remaining ingredients. Cook, stirring, until sherry has evaporated. Taste and adjust seasonings.

WILD RICE STUFFING WITH GRAPES AND HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• In heavy saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add wild rice and stir. Cover pan, and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for one hour, until rice is tender and has "popped" open. Meanwhile, cook bacon in fry pan over medium until almost crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Add butter to bacon pan, add onions, celery, mushrooms, garlic, thyme and salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until onions are translucent. Remove from heat and fold in parsley, hazelnuts and grapes. Add rice with any remaining liquid in pan, to vegetable mixture and toss well. Stuffing may be used to fill turkey, game hens, chicken or whatever you choose. Stuffing may also be baked separately in a casserole dish covered with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes until hot throughout.
