Wild Rice N Bread Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• In a 3-quart saucepan, bring 3 cups water to a boil.
• Stir in wild rice and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Return to a boil, cover, and simmer over low heat 50 minutes.
• Drain in a large coarse sieve.
• In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, melt butter.
• Add celery, onions and garlic; sauté, stirring, for 10 minutes or until softened.
• Add cooked wild rice and stuffing mix or cornbread; heat through, stirring.
• Add broth, parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
• Spread evenly in a 9" x 13" glass baking dish, and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
• (Dressing may be prepared up to 6 hours ahead and refrigerated.) Bake until heated through, about 30 minutes.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Prepare instant long grain and wild rice according to package directions. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Place ground pork sausage and ground sage pork sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, and set aside. Cook and stir celery, onion, mushrooms, and water chestnuts in the skillet until browned and tender. Season with garlic powder.
• Mix prepared rice, sausage, celery mixture, and eggs in the prepared baking dish. Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or rice cooker, combine the brown rice and water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Set a timer for 20 minutes. When that time is up, stir in the instant wild rice. Continue to simmer, covered, until the rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 10 to 15 more minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the bread cubes over a baking sheet and season with sage, thyme, and garlic powder. Bake for 10 minutes, or until bread is lightly toasted and spices are fragrant. Set aside to cool slightly. Leave the oven on.
• In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with the celery, carrot, onion, and apples. Stir in the rice until evenly distributed. Pour into a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the chicken broth evenly over the top. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until heated through. Remove the aluminum foil and bake an additional 10 minutes if you like a crispy top.
