    Title: "Nifty Fifties" Rice Pudding
    Categories: Rice, Dairy, Fruits, Desserts, Dairy
    Yield: 8 Servings

    3/4 c Raw long-grain rice
    1/4 ts Vanilla
    2 lg Eggs; slightly beaten
    1/8 ts Salt
    1 1/2 c Milk
    1/2 c Golden raisins (Sultanas)
    1 1/2 c Heavy cream
    1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/3 c Granulated white sugar
    2 ts Grated lemon peel
    +=OR=+
    2 ts Grated orange peel
    Whipped cream (opt)

    This was the oldest standby in the resturant business.

    Prepare the rice in 1 1/2 cups of water according to
    package directions. Meanwhile heat the oven to
    350+|F/175+|C. Grease an 8" square baking dish.

    In a large bowl combine the eggs, milk, cream, sugar,
    zest, vanilla, and salt beating until well blended. Stir
    the raisins into the rice and spoon the rice mixture into
    the prepared baking dish.

    Pour the egg mixture over the rice and sprinkle with the
    cinnamon. Place the baking dish in the oven in a larger
    baking pan filled with enough hot water to come halfway up
    the sides of the baking dish.

    Bake for 45 minutes until pudding is almost set, stirring
    once after 10 minutes and again 15 minutes later. Remove
    the baking dish from the larger pan and cool on a wire
    rack, cooling until cold.

    Refrigerate, covered, at least 3 hours or overnight until
    the pudding is firm. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.

    Title: One-Pot Sausage & Mushroom Wild Rice
    Categories: Pork, Mushrooms, Vegetables, Wine, Rice
    Yield: 6 Servings

    1 tb Oil
    1 lb Bulk sausage
    4 tb Butter
    1 c Sliced onion
    1 tb Chopped fresh thyme leaves
    8 oz Sliced fresh white mushrooms
    1/2 c Thin sliced celery
    3/4 c Dry white wine
    2 c Chicken broth
    1/4 c Heavy whipping cream
    1 c Uncooked wild rice
    1/4 c Chopped fresh flat-leaf
    - parsley
    1/4 c Chopped walnuts; toasted

    In 5 quart Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat.
    Add sausage; cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently,
    until cooked through. Drain, and set aside.

    Clean out Dutch oven; melt 2 tablespoons of the butter
    over medium heat. Add onions and thyme; cook 4 to 6
    minutes, stirring frequently, until onions begin to
    brown and soften. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter,
    and stir to melt; stir in mushrooms and celery. Increase
    heat to medium-high; cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring
    occasionally, until mushrooms release juices and then
    brown.

    Stir in wine; simmer 3 to 4 minutes, scraping pan to
    release browned bits. Once liquid is almost evaporated,
    stir in sausage, broth and whipping cream; stir in wild
    rice. Heat to boiling over high heat; cover, and cook
    over medium-low heat 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes,
    without stirring, until rice is tender. Top with parsley
    and walnuts.

    TIPS: Cremini mushrooms make an excellent substitute for
    the white mushrooms in this recipe.

    To get as much flavor off the bottom of the Dutch oven
    as possible, use a wooden spoon or spatula (instead of
    a rubber spatula) after adding the wine.

    Makes 6 servings
