WILD RICE, SAUTEED APPLES & ONION WITH FRESH SAGE



Wild Rice, Sauteed Apples & Onion With Fresh Sage image

Hearty Fall flavors in this rice dish, the fresh sage is perfect with the sauteed apples and rice. I also love to cook the rice in chicken broth for extra flavor. I serve this with my chicken stuffed with fontina, cranberry and walnuts recipe , it is the perfect compliment. Recipe #389670. I wouldn't say this is a quick weekday recipe, but a Sunday dinner or entertaining with a few friends. It is very elegant with tons of flavor and cost friendly. But this rice is just as good with a simple roasted chicken any day.

Time 45m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (6 ounce) box long grain and wild rice blend, I use Uncle Bens but any brand will work. I use the original recipe, not quick cooking, but use your
chicken broth, to cook the rice in
1 medium onion, diced
2 granny smith apples, diced
1 teaspoon apple jelly
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons fresh sage
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Rice -- Cook the rice according to directions. I like to cook in chicken broth for extra flavor, but by all means, water will work just fine.
  • Note: If entertaining, I replace 1/2 cup of the chicken broth with white wine to even give the dish more flavor, but for every day I don't. Also if you have kids you may or may not want to. That is up to you. The wine adds a great flavor to the dish however.
  • Apples and Onions -- as the rice cooks which will take about 20-30 minutes heat up a small skillet on medium heat and melt the butter. Saute the onions and apples on medium for 5 minutes until soft but not over cooked. Add in the apple jelly, sage, salt and pepper.
  • Mix -- When the rice is done, combine the rice with the apple mixture and it is ready to enjoy. If you want, garnish with a teaspoon of butter to mix in and even make the dish richer in flavor.

Like many Thanksgiving dishes, this pilaf combines sweet and savory foods. Apples and cranberries are high in phenolic acids, which are believed to have antioxidant properties.

Time 3h

Yield Makes about 8 cups, serving 12 to 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups wild rice
3/4 cup short-grain brown rice
6 cups vegetable stock or water
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small or medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup diced celery
2 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
1 tablespoon butter
2 apples, cored and cut in 1/2-inch dice
1/3 cup lightly toasted pecans, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
1/3 cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Combine the wild rice with 4 1/2 cups stock or water in one saucepan and the brown rice with 1 1/2 cups stock or water in another smaller saucepan. Add salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer the brown rice for 35 to 40 minutes, until the rice is tender and all of the liquid has been absorbed. Turn off the heat, place a clean kitchen towel over the pot and return the lid. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Simmer the wild rice for 40 to 50 minutes, until the grains have begun to splay. Drain through a strainer if there is liquid in the pot, and return to the pot. Place a clean kitchen towel over the pot and return the lid. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While the grains are cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until the onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the celery and a generous pinch of salt, and continue to cook until the onion is completely tender, another 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook, stirring, until it is fragrant, another 30 to 60 seconds. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large bowl. Add the cooked grains and stir together.
  • Return the skillet to the stove and heat over medium-high heat. Add the butter, and when the foam subsides add the apples. Cook, stirring or tossing in the pan, until lightly colored, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add to the bowl with the grains. Add the remaining ingredients and stir together. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a lightly oiled or buttered baking dish and cover with foil.
  • Warm the stuffing in a 325-degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
