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.

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.

Categories     dinner, lunch, side dish

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.

STIR-FRIED WILD RICE WITH ASPARAGUS AND MUSHROOMS



Stir-Fried Wild Rice With Asparagus and Mushrooms image

A wonderful combination of flavors. Serves 4 as an entree or 6 as a hearty side. Add grilled tofu chunks for more protein. If you can't afford shitake mushrooms, it would probably be good with creminis. Cooking time includes rice, which you can do ahead of time. I cooked the 2 different kinds of rice together in a rice cooker with lots of water for about an hour. Adapted from The One-Dish Vegetarian by Maria Robbins.

Tips:

  • Soak the wild rice: Soaking the wild rice for at least 30 minutes before cooking will help it cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
  • Use a Dutch oven or large pot: A Dutch oven or large pot with a tight-fitting lid is ideal for cooking wild rice, as it will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from burning.
  • Add aromatics to the cooking liquid: Adding aromatics such as onion, garlic, and celery to the cooking liquid will help to enhance the flavor of the wild rice.
  • Cook the wild rice until it is tender: Wild rice takes longer to cook than white or brown rice, so be sure to cook it until it is tender. This may take up to 45 minutes.
  • Fluff the wild rice with a fork before serving: Once the wild rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains and make it light and airy.

Conclusion:

Wild rice is a delicious and nutritious grain that can be used in a variety of dishes. When cooked properly, wild rice has a nutty flavor and a chewy texture. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and vitamins. This recipe for wild rice with shiitake mushrooms is a simple and flavorful way to enjoy this unique grain.
