Wild Rice with Mushrooms
Total time: 50 minutes
Wild rice is a grass, rather than a rice. This is finished with sautéed mushrooms and onion. This makes enough for 4; or 2 with half left for another use.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup wild rice
- 1 1/2 cups (12oz, 360ml) beef stock
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 4oz (120gr) mushrooms
- 1/2 onion
- 2 tsp butter
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tbs sherry
Instructions:
- Rinse rice and put into a medium saucepan.
- Add stock, water and bring to boil.
- Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 40 - 45 minutes.
- Check your package for proper directions and proportions - it may vary. Cooking time will vary according to freshness of rice, altitude, whatever. Simmer until tender. We prefer to have most of the kernels "popped". When rice is done, remove, put into a serving dish and keep warm. (If there is any stock left when the rice is done just drain it.)
- Vertically slice onion.
- Trim and slice mushrooms.
- Heat butter and oil in a large, nonstick skillet.
- Sauté onions for 5 minutes.
- Add mushrooms and continue to sauté until both are light brown.
- Add rice , sherry, stir well, cover and heat through. Serve.
