Your Welcome Jolie

SALMON WILD RICE PIE


1 recipe Lemon Pastry (recipe follows)
2 tablespoons butter
3 green onions, cleaned and chopped, including green tops
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, cleaned and chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dill weed or dried thyme leaves
2 cups cooked wild rice
3 large eggs
4 cups cooked, boned and flaked salmon
1 cup sour cream, plus additional for serving

GLAZE:
1 large egg
1 tablespoon milk or water

Preheat the oven to 400*F. Roll out half the pastry on a lightly
floured surface and fit into a 9 or 10-inch quiche pan or pie pan.

In a heavy, nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add
the green onions and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until onions are tender and mushrooms are cooked. Remove the pan from the heat and cool.

Stir the salt, dill, wild rice and 1 lightly beaten egg into the cooked
vegetables. Turn mixture into the pastry-lined pan. In a medium-sized bowl, lightly beat the 2 remaining eggs and mix with the salmon. Spread the mixture evenly over the wild rice mixture in the pan. Spread the sour cream evenly over the top.

Roll out remaining pastry and fit it over the filling. Fold the edges
over and crimp to seal well.

For the glaze, mix the ingredients and brush over the top of the pie. Pierce the top all over with a fork and bake the pie for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of sour cream (if used). Makes 6 to 8 servings.

LEMON PASTRY
This is one of my all-time favorite pastries for pies. The combination of egg and lemon juice makes it tender and flaky.

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) chilled butter cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
4 to 5 tablespoons ice water

Stir the flour and salt together. Cut the butter into the flour until
the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

With a fork, stir the egg, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of the ice water together. Sprinkle the liquid over the flour mixture and mix with a fork just until the pastry holds together, adding more flour if needed. Knead the dough in the bowl for 2 or 3 strokes, just enough to make the dough hold together in a smooth ball. Cover and chill for 30 minutes or until firm and use as directed.

Wild Rice and grape salad
(about a quart and a half)



3 cups cooked rice

1 cup seedless green grapes, halved

1 small can water chestnuts, sliced

1/2 cup celery chopped medium-fine

1 big bunch green onions choppeed medium fine

1/2 cup slivered or sliced almonds

1 cup Hellmans mayo, do not use substitutes



Stir vegetables and mayo into rice, stir grapes in gently. If too thick, thin with a little milk. Taste for seasoning. Refrigerated, this will keep several days. Improves it to make it the day before, so the mayo sinks in and blends a little. If you do make it in advance, don't add any more seasoning until you taste it the next day. You can also put leftover chopped up chicken or turkey in this salad
This is a Favorite of mine I add about 1/4 lb cooked chicken to it Yum

:D

Kamut, Wild Rice, Cranberry Salad

1 cup kamut
1 cup wild rice
1 cup dried cranberries
2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
DRESSING

1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup extra light olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
dash Worcestershire sauce
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Place kamut in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Soak overnight. Pour off water. Add 1 cup fresh water. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 50 - 60 minutes or until tender. (Most of the water should be absorbed.) Remove from heat and cool.

Wash wild rice and place in a medium saucepan with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and boil gently for 40 - 50 minutes or until tender. (Do not over cook, which makes the rice mushy.) Remove from heat and drain off any remaining liquid. Cool. In a large bowl, combine kamut, rice, dried cranberries, carrots, onions, and parsley. Set aside.

In a pint jar, combine all of the dressing ingredients. Mix well and pour over rice mixture. Stir to mix well. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Note: If you cannot find kamut, substitute a wild rice and brown rice mixture. Kamut is an ancient grain that is creamy white in color and has a firm texture and nutty flavor.

Cream of Chicken with Wild Rice Soup


1 1/3 cups wild rice
1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
7 cups water
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
3/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup margarine
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups milk
3/4 cup white wine

Cook the wild rice according to package directions, but remove from heat about 15 minutes before it's done. Drain the excess liquid, and set aside.
In a stock pot over high heat, combine the chicken and the water. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked and tender. Remove chicken from the pot, and allow it to cool. Strain the broth from the pot, and reserve for later. When chicken is cool, remove the meat from the bones, cut into bite size pieces, and reserve. Discard the fat and the bones.
In the same stock pot over medium heat, saute the celery and onion in the oil for 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, and cover. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is tender. Return the broth to the stock pot, and add the partially cooked wild rice. Stir in the bouillon, white pepper and salt; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt margarine in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour until smooth. Whisk in the milk, and continue cooking until mixture is bubbly and thick. Add some of the broth mixture to the milk mixture, continuing to stir, then stir all of the milk mixture into the broth mixture.
Mix in the reserved chicken meat and the white wine. Allow this to heat through for about 15 minutes.
