Mushroom Walnut Au Gratin image

This is a recipe printed in the San Jose Mercury News HomePlates column, listed as being from the now-defunct Good Earth restaurant chain. It is a hearty vegetarian dish which I remember enjoying in college. I have not made this recipe yet, I won't find enough takers at my house right now, but wanted to get it posted so it doesn't get lost again.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup uncooked brown rice
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 vegetable bouillon cube
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon oregano, crumbled
1 1/2 cups water
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
2 medium onions, cut into quarters and thinly sliced
1/2 lb mushroom, sliced
3 cups thinly sliced broccoli (stems and bite-sized florets)
1/2 cup slivered water chestnut
1 clove garlic, minced (I'd probably add more)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
orange slice (to garnish)

Steps:

  • For pilaf:.
  • Heat oil in 2 quart saucepan.
  • Stir in rice and cook and stir until it begins to brown.
  • Add onion, stirring until lightly browned.
  • Add bouillon cube, salt, ginger, oregano and water, stirring to combine.
  • Cover and lower heat to simmer.
  • Cook until rice is just tender, about 30 minutes.
  • For mushroom/walnut mixture:.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat, add walnuts and stir until lightly browned.
  • Remove with slotted spoon and reserve.
  • Add onions and mushrooms to oil and brown lightly, remove with slotted spoon and reserve.
  • Add broccoli and saute until crisp-tender, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir in onions, mushrooms, water chestnuts and garlic.
  • Remove from heat and add walnuts, soy sauce and sour cream.
  • Stir lightly to coat vegetables.
  • Spread brown rice pilaf in greased, shallow 2 1/2 quart baking dish.
  • Cover with vegetable mixture, and sprinkle evenly with cheeses.
  • Bake until cheese melts, about 20 minutes.
  • Serve garnished with orange slices.
  • Cooking time below is approximate, as I think you can do the pilaf and mushroom mixture concurrently.
