Dutch Oven Toasted Balsmati Rice With Oats And Wild Rice Recipes

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add the vegetables and saute for 4 to 5 minutes. Season with the salt, black pepper and cayenne. Stir in the cream and add the cooked wild rice and the mustard. Combine well and reduce the heat. Simmer until the cream has thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Adjust seasoning, if necessary, stir in the parsley and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large sauce pan, combine the wild rice, 4 cups of the stock and salt to taste. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover, and cook until tender, about 60 minutes. Drain and transfer the rice to a large bowl. In a medium saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat and add the sausage meat. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it loses its raw color, about 10 minutes. Drain off excess fat, and stir the sausage meat with the rice. In the same pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-low heat, add the onions, and cook until golden, about 15 minutes. Add the thyme and cook 2 minutes more. Stir the onion mixture with the rice. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt the remaining butter in the same pan, over medium heat, and add the mushrooms. Cook until wilted and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add to the rice. Add the parsley and 3/4 cup of stock. Season the rice mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the mixture to a 9- x 13-inch casserole dish, cover with foil, and bake until heated through about 30 minutes. Serve.

Steps:

• Heat a well-seasoned cast-iron Dutch oven over a good campfire or stove burner (medium high heat, if controllable). Toast grains, salt, and nigella seeds until grains begin to brown. Add water, stir, and turn heat down to low (or move to lower part of fire). Place lid on and don't even peek for about 20 minutes. Grain is done when all water is absorbed and fluffs well with a fork.
