Sausage And Wild Rice Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepot over medium-high heat. Add the rice and cook, toasting until the rice begins to smell nutty, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock along with some salt and bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Simmer until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid, about 25 minutes
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon oil along with the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, pepper and a generous pinch of salt and cook until just tender and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, sausage, thyme and sage, and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon until browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes more.
• When the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed, turn off the heat, remove the lid and add the sausage and vegetables. Fluff and stir gently with a fork to combine. Add the rice to a serving dish and sprinkle with the chives before serving hot.

Steps:

• In 5-quart Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until cooked through. Drain, and set aside.
• Clean out Dutch oven; melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add onions and thyme; cook 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions begin to brown and soften. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and stir to melt; stir in mushrooms and celery. Increase heat to medium-high; cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release juices and then brown.
• Stir in wine; simmer 3 to 4 minutes, scraping pan to release browned bits. Once liquid is almost evaporated, stir in sausage, broth and whipping cream; stir in wild rice. Heat to boiling over high heat; cover, and cook over medium-low heat 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, without stirring, until rice is tender. Top with parsley and walnuts.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Wash wild rice several times under cold water until water runs clear. Set aside.
• Melt butter in skillet and then fry sausage over medium high heat, breaking up into as small pieces as possible. Do not overcook--cook just until all pink is gone. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside.
• In same skillet saute onion, celery, carrot and bell pepper over medium high heat until just beginning to brown lightly. Toss frequently.
• Add wild rice to skillet and continue to saute a while longer, tossing frequently to coat wild rice with oil but do not let it burn.
• Add salt and black pepper to taste.
• Add Cream of Celery soup to skillet and mix quickly, then add 2 soup cans of water and stir until well mixed.
• When well mixed, add reserved sausage meat and mix thoroughly. Bring to a boil, immediately remove from stove and pour into a buttered casserole (at least 2 qts.) and cover with foil.
• Place in oven and bake. After 30 minutes check and add a small amount of additional water if necessary, and stir well.
• Cook until most liquid is absorbed, but not until casserole is dry, about an hour.
