Wild Rice & Mushrooms

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
wild rice with mushrooms

Wild rice with mushrooms has such a yummy umami, savory flavor. It’s a good side dish with steak or chicken, or any kind of “meat-and-potatoes” meal.

This is also pretty easy to make. The rice needs to cook for about 35 minutes (thereabouts), and you can cook the mushrooms while the rice is simmering. Once the rice is ready, just stir the rice and veggies together with some Worcestershire sauce!

You can make this vegan by cooking the veggies in olive oil (or any other plant-based oil), and using veggie broth instead of beef broth. I used beef broth because I needed to use it up, and I also like the umami flavor it creates.

Lundberg Wild Blend Rice is my favorite wild rice because it has a bunch of different wild rice types mixed together, and it’s easy to find in Wal-Mart.

I served wild rice & mushrooms as a side dish with Steak Au Poivre. It was a good dinner! Like dining in a fancy steakhouse for way less money, and way less saturated fat.

Wild Rice & Mushrooms

Prep Time5 minutes mins
Cook Time35 minutes mins
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked wild rice
  • 1¾ cups low sodium beef broth (or veggie stock)
  • 2 tablespoon margarine, butter or olive oil
  • 8 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
  • 4 scallions (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoon reduced-sodium Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  • Rinse the wild rice. Put the rice in a saucepan with 1¾ cups beef broth (or vegetable broth to make this vegan). Cover the saucepan with a lid.
  • Put the saucepan on the stove, over medium-high heat, until the broth begins to boil.
  • Turn the heat down to medium low, keeping the lid on the saucepan, and let the rice/broth mixture simmer for about 35 minutes. The rice is done cooking when the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Heat the butter (or margarine, or olive oil) in a skillet over medium heat. When the oil begins to sizzle just a bit, add the sliced mushrooms and chopped scallions.
  • Cook the mushrooms and scallions for about 10 to 15, stirring occasionally, until most of the moisture has been cooked out of the vegetables. Mushrooms should be deeply brown.
  • Stir the cooked rice, cooked vegetables and Worcestershire sauce together.

Hello, world!

I’ve always liked cooking, but we used to eat crap a lot — like buttery mashed potatoes, creamy sauces and rich desserts. Then, my husband had a heart attack at age 38, and it was a terrifying wake-up call! Not wanting to leave our children fatherless, we knew we had to make a major change. Following his heart attack, we needed to cut sodium, sugar, saturated fats (you know, most of our favorite foods!)
