Two weeks ago I sent a request for Wild Rice recipes and got several
answers. In case anybody is interested (and because Richard asked me to
post his recipe) I send hereby all the recipes I got. They all sound
delicious to me and leave lots of possibilies for changes.
Anyway if there are other recipes which differ from the following recipes
a lot (cakes etc.) please let me know. Thanks in advance,
Elke

A simple recipe I like:
Remember that Wild Rice takes longer to cook than regular
rice (because it is not really rice, but a wild grass seed).
Cook wild rice in an equal amount of water: about 10 minutes at
a boil. Drain. Add partially cooked wild rice to an equal
amount of uncooked regular rice, add one part dry sherry to 2
parts boullion (chicken or beef) adding twice as much of the
sherry/boullion mixture as the total volume of rice (both
kinds). Bring to boil, simmer for 12-14 minutes (I am screwed
up here because I live at about 1500 meters, and such things
take longer to cook) until cooked. When cooked through
properly add a chunk of butter and some raisins. Cook through
till warm and serve.
If you can figure out all those ratios, let me know how it
comes out. My forebears settled a century or so ago in Wisconsin,
where wild rice is grown. They came from Denmark and Germany.
This recipe has some teutonic origins, I am certain......
You may also, by the way, add chopped onion, celery and apple
to this dish.....

WILD RICE AND MUSHROOM CASSEROLE
1/2 C wild rice
1 large onion
1 large stalk celery
1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms
1/4 lb. (1 stick, 1/2 C) butter
sage, thyme, salt, pepper, to taste
Rinse wild rice, put in a pot of boiling water (c. 3-4 C), cover, boil
gently until rice grains burst and are quite soft (c. 40 minutes).
Drain. Dump in a cup or so of cold water to fluff, drain. This gives
you around 3 C of cooked rice.
Mince onion fine.
Mince celery fine.
Melt about 2/3 of butter in pan, add onion and celery, and saute for
about 3 minutes, stirring. Add to rice.
Clean mushrooms, slice coarsely.
Melt remaining butter in pan, add mushrooms, and saute gently until
mushrooms barely start releasing liquid. Add all to rice.
Add flavorings to taste, toss rice, serve if hot.
Otherwise, put in casserole in medium oven (350 degreees) until heated through.
I serve this with roast duck and orange sauce, and add the giblets and
neck meat, also cut up and sauteed in a little butter. This started
out as Irma Rombauer's (The Joy of Cooking, c. 1960) wild rice
dressing, and has been added to over the years.
Add what you like, subtract what you like.
Good luck.

WILD RICE
1 tablespoon butter
1 to 2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup wild rice
1-2 teaspoons maple syrup (optional)
Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add shallots. Saute
briefly but do not brown. Add chicken stock. Bring to a boil. Stir
wild rice into boiling stock. Cover and reduce heat to a very slow
simmer. Cook 40 to 50 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is
absorbed. If rice is dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water, cover and
steam until absorbed. Just before serving, stir in maple syrup. Makes
2 to 3 servings.
CORNISH GAME HEN & WILD RICE
1 (1-1/2-lb.) Cornish game hen
Wild Rice Stuffing (recipe below)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
Glaze (optional)
1/4 cup red currant jelly
2 tablespoons brandy or cognac
salt to taste
Thaw game hen and remove giblets. (Hint: Put giblets in a small
saucepan with about 2/3 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat,
cover, and let simmer for 15 or 20 minutes if you have time so you can
use the stock in the stuffing.) Cut hen in half. Prepare Wild Rice
Stuffing. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 Celsius). Rinse
and dry hen halves. Sprinkle salt and pepper on inner surfaces. Fill
with Wild Rice Stuffing. Place a square of aluminum foil on each
half; invert onto a small shallow baking sheet. To prepare ahead,
completely cool stuffing before using and refrigerate stuffed hen
halves up to 24 hours. Melt butter in a small saucepan and brush over
hen halves. Bake 20 minutes. Add red currant jelly and brandy or
cognac to remaining butter in saucepan. Heat and stir until jelly is
melted and mixture is smooth. Brush jelly glaze over hen halves. Bake
20 to 30 more minutes, basting with glaze every 10 minutes. Move foil
and hen halves together onto serving plates; slip foil out. Bring
remaining glaze to a boil and season with salt. Pour over hen halves.
Makes 2 servings.

Wild rice (which is a grass seed, not a real rice, but high in protein,
low in fat and a good source of B vitamins) is available in the U.S.
at Trader Joe's outlets for $1.99. This is far cheaper than it was when
I was a teenager ($4.00/4oz in REAL 1950s $). I understand that this
dramatic price decrease is because it has been domesticated and is
being grown in a remote part of northeastern California (Hwy 299 east
of Redding)
A pound of dried wild rice kernels will, when cooked up with water,
make a huge amount of what we eat.
>From the _New_Laurel's_Kitchen:
1 cup wild rice
1/3/ cup brown rice
1 carrot
1 large stalk celery
6 green onions
1 garlic clove
2 tablespoons oil
5 cups boiling water
1 teaspoon marjoram
1/4 teaspoon thyme
pinch rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
dash pepper
1/3 cup toasted almonds
[I vary this a bit from time-to-time. I like to add 1/3 cup Basmati or
brown rice and some other spices (e.g. sage)].
Rinse the grain (wild rice) well, taking out any gravel, etc. Chop
carrot & celery in 1/4" cubes. Chop green onions and saute them with
garlic in oil. Crush garlic cloves with fork. Add water & bring to a
boil. Stir in vegetables, rice, herbs, salt, & pepper. Bring to a
boil. Cover, reduce heat, and cook gently for an hour or more (this
aint quick), until rice is tender (and puffed up with the water - use a
big pot). Chop the almonds and add them about 20 minutes before
serving. Makes about 5 cups (6+ if you add the Basmati or other 1/3 cup
of rice).
I'm not cooking this as we are still getting too many fresh vegetables
from garden and farmers' markets. Really good later in the year when
it's cold outside. Keeps well in the refrigerator (if well drained
first) but does not freeze at all well.
