Wild Rice Stuffing
Anyone interested in trying something really, really
delicious this holiday season? Wild rice is always good. It
has a nice chewy texture and is very high on flavor
compared to its domesticated counterparts. Wild rice
stuffing in turkey is absolutely delicious, especially if
you add a little sherry to the gravy. This recipe will make
approximately enough for a 14-16 pound turkey. Go for it!!
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 carrots, diced
4 tablespoons marjoram leaves
4 tablespoons fresh sage, torn in pieces
4 cups dry red wine
4 cups wild rice, cooked
4 cups rye bread cubes, dried
1 1/2 cup roasted fresh chestnuts, shelled
Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 eggs
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
2 cups chicken stock
Preparation:
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and add the
onion, garlic, carrot, and herbs. Sauté for about 5
minutes, then add the red wine. Simmer the ingredients in
the wine until the mixture is reduced to a tight paste.
This should take about 12-15 minutes.
Add the rice, the
bread, and the chestnuts. Stir and season with the salt and
the pepper.
Scrape the skillet mixture into a large bowl,
then mix in the eggs, the caraway seeds, and one or two
ladles of chicken stock. Mix thoroughly until everything is
evenly moistened. Fill the turkey and roast. Enjoy!
