Long Grain And Wild Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all of the spices in a medium saucepan and mix thoroughly.
• Add the both types of rice, the chicken stock and butter (if using).
• Bring mixture to a boil and stir to combine.
• Cover saucepan with a lid, turn down heat to a simmer and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed.

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.

Steps:

• Heat the margarine in a large saucepan. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until golden.
• Add 4 cups water, the celery, and bouillon cubes and bring to a simmer. Stir in the rice mix, cover, and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, 35 to 40 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
• Did you know that wild rice is not really a type of rice, nor a grain at all? It is actually the seed of a tall aquatic grass that thrives in freshwater lakes or rivers. Most of the crop is harvested in and around Minnesota and other Great Lakes states by Native American-owned companies. Cultivating wild rice on a larger scale has proven difficult, so its niche remains as a specialty gourmet grain.
• Wild rice dishes help dress up fall harvest meals; they are especially compatible with winter squash dishes.
• Combine brown rice with a small amount of wild rice when cooking for added texture and nutty flavor.
• Add a small amount of cooked wild rice to stuffings and other wintery casseroles.
