Wild Rice Salad With Mushrooms Recipes

WILD RICE WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large saucepot over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the rice and toast while stirring until it begins to smell nutty, about 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover and cook on low until the water is absorbed, about 40 minutes.
• While the rice is cooking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon butter along with the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the button mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms and thyme and cook, stirring often until they begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute more.
• When the rice is cooked, fluff with a fork and gently fold in the mushrooms. Add to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the parsley before serving.

WILD RICE SALAD WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Bring the broth to a boil and add the wild rice. Simmer this until the rice is done, checking after 20 minutes; real wild rice will be done, but farmed will likely need up to another 20 minutes. When the rice is done, drain it and set it aside.
• Get a large sauté pan hot over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms. Shake the pan and let the mushrooms sear until they start to give up their water. Once they do, sprinkle with salt. Once the water has mostly boiled away, add the butter or vegetable oil and the sliced onion. Toss to combine. Cook, stirring often, until you get some nice browning on both the mushrooms and the onion.
• Add the garlic and sage and cook another minute or two. Add the wild rice and the remaining ingredients to the pan, toss to combine and let cook one more minute. Serve hot or at room temperature.
