Wild Rice with Morels and RampsThis dish is excellent with all
types of game, meat or poultry. The ramps blend
beautifully with the rice and the mushrooms. The
dish is improved tremendously if served with a
hearty, dry red wine. Bon appetit!
Ingredients:
3 cups water
1 ½ cups wild rice
3 ¼ cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive
oil
3 ramps, chopped
2 cups sliced fresh Morel
mushrooms
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preparation:
In a large saucepan combine the water and the rice,
bringing to a boil over high heat. Cover and remove
from heat, allowing it to stand for at least 20
minutes. Drain well and return the rice to the
saucepan.
Add about 3 cups of the broth and bring
to a boil again over medium-high heat. Stir,
cover, and reduce the heat. Simmer gently for
about 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender
and the liquid has been absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, warm the oil in a
large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped
ramps and sauté for about 3 minutes.
Add the
sliced morels and sauté for another 3 minutes
or so. Add the pepper and the remaining broth.
Cover and continue to simmer for about 5 minutes.
Set the mushroom mixture aside until the rice
is ready.
Add the rice to the pan and mix well.
Directions:
This dish is excellent with all
types of game, meat or poultry. The ramps blend
