WILD RICE WITH MUSHROOMS



Wild Rice With Mushrooms image

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.

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces long-grain Wisconsin wild rice
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
1 pound cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt, more to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1/3 cup dry sherry, such as Dry Sack (do not use cream sherry)

Steps:

  • Bring 5 cups water to a boil. Stir in rice, then reduce heat so liquid is just simmering. Cover and cook until grains just begin to pop, about 40 minutes. Drain excess liquid from rice and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have released their liquid and are golden brown, about 8 minutes; remove to a plate. Repeat with remaining butter and mushrooms.
  • Return all the mushrooms to the skillet and season with the salt and pepper, to taste. Very carefully add sherry to deglaze the pan, and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated but mushrooms are still moist.
  • Mix mushrooms into prepared rice and season again with salt and pepper.

WILD RICE WITH WILD MUSHROOMS



Wild Rice with Wild Mushrooms image

One surprise to Europeans who settled the plains was the abundance of wild mushrooms, including morels, chanterelles, and other varieties familiar from home. 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.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup wild rice blend (usually a combination of wild rice, black rice, brown rice and white rice)
1 3/4 cups vegetable broth, chicken broth or water
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 medium yellow or white onion, finely diced

Kosher salt
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves, plus a sprig for garnish

Earthy fresh mushrooms combine with the tang of balsamic vinegar and the crunch of wild rice in this simple, hearty dish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains     Rice Recipes

Time 1h

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups chicken broth
1 cup wild rice, rinsed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound mixed fresh mushrooms (such as oyster, cremini, and shiitake), sliced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, plus more for garnish
4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Bring broth to a boil in a small pot. Add rice, and reduce to a simmer. Cover, and cook until rice is just tender and almost all the liquid has been absorbed, about 40 minutes. Remove from heat. Let sit, covered, 10 minutes. Drain any excess cooking liquid if necessary. Fluff rice with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, and cook 3 minutes (do not stir). Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt, and stir. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and add butter and scallions. Cook until scallions are softened, about 1 minute. Turn off heat, and stir in vinegar.
  • Transfer rice to a serving bowl. Stir in mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms. In addition to cremini mushrooms, you can also use shiitake, oyster, or porcini mushrooms.
  • Toast the rice before cooking. This will help to bring out its nutty flavor.
  • Use a good quality broth. A flavorful broth will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcook the rice. Wild rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Add the mushrooms and vegetables towards the end of the cooking time. This will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Season the dish to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Serve the rice immediately. Wild rice is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Wild rice with cremini mushrooms is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. It is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its nutty flavor and chewy texture, wild rice is a great alternative to white or brown rice. And the cremini mushrooms add a rich, earthy flavor to the dish. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
