One Pot Sausage Mushroom Wild Rice Food

SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOM WILD RICE

Steps:

• Bring the Chicken Stock (3 1/2 cup) to a boil with the Unsalted Butter (2 tablespoon) and Kosher Salt (1 teaspoon). Stir in the Long Grain White Rice (1 1/2 cup) and Wild Rice (1/2 cup).
• Place the Dried Mushrooms (1 package) into a small bowl and cover with the Chicken Stock (1/2 cup). Cover with plastic wrap and allow to re-hydrate.
• Cover with a lid and lower the heat to low. Allow to cook for about 30 to 35 minutes.
• Remove the leaves from the Fresh Thyme (3 sprig).
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt in the remaining Unsalted Butter (2 tablespoon). Add the Yellow Onion (1) and Garlic (3 clove) and allow to cook for about 5 minutes, until soft and translucent.
• Season with Kosher Salt (1 teaspoon), Ground Black Pepper (1 teaspoon), and Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1/2 teaspoon). Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to brown.
• Stir in the Cremini Mushroom (1 pound). Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the mushrooms begin to brown. Drain off the rehydrated mushrooms from earlier, and stir into the skillet. Allow to cook for another 5 minutes until heated through.
• Season with a bit more Kosher Salt (1 teaspoon), Ground Black Pepper (2 teaspoon), and fresh thyme leaves. Transfer the onion and mushroom mixture to a separate bowl.
• Reheat the skillet over medium-high heat, no need to clean. Add the Spicy Ground Sausage (0.5 pound) and cook until browned and crispy, breaking it down and stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
• Once browned, add the veggies back in and cook for a few more minutes. Add the Red Wine (1/4 cup), deglazing the pan, making sure to scrape up the bits and pieces at the bottom of the skillet. Cook until the moisture evaporates.
• Fluff up the cooked wild rice and long grain rice and transfer it to a large serving bowl. Add the cooked ground spicy sausage and mushroom mixture and stir until evenly combined.
• Stir in sliced Scallion (to taste) and Fresh Parsley (to taste). Serve right away or at room temperature. Enjoy!

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.

• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the wild rice and toast, stirring, until it begins to smell nutty, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer over low heat. Cover and cook until the water is absorbed, about 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the button mushrooms, shiitakes and thyme and cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic (add more oil to the skillet if it's dry), season with salt and pepper and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 more minute.
• When the rice is cooked, fluff with a fork and gently fold in the mushroom mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Add to a serving bowl; sprinkle with the parsley.

PRESSURE COOKER MUSHROOM AND WILD RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Turn on the sauté setting on a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker. Melt the butter, then add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms and 1 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and shrunk a bit, about 8 minutes. Add the celery, carrot, chopped garlic, thyme, garlic powder and several generous grinds of black pepper. Stir to combine. Add the flour and stir until the vegetables are evenly coated and no white spots remain.
• Pour in the stock and wine, and turn off the heat. Scrape the bottom of the pot very well to incorporate flour and any browned bits that are stuck to the bottom. (This will add flavor and also prevent a burn warning later.) Stir in the wild rice.
• Cook on high pressure for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the pressure reduce naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually.
• Stir the soup and check the texture of the wild rice; if it needs a bit more time repeat the pressure cooking process for a cook time of 2 minutes and rapidly release the pressure. Check the texture of the soup; if you'd like it to be thicker, turn on the sauté function and let the soup simmer to reduce to desired consistency. Turn off the heat.
• Put the sour cream in a small bowl and slowly whisk in a few spoonfuls of warm soup until smooth, then stir the mixture into the soup. (This prevents the sour cream from separating.) Taste the soup and add salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve the soup in bowls topped with chopped scallions or chives and dill. Reheat any leftovers on low until warm. (Boiling can cause the sour cream to break.)

WILD RICE WITH MUSHROOMS

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.
