Wild Rice Stuffing

Submitted by ChrisMc

"Here's a Minnesota variation on stuffing; for a little more flavor, season with parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (the same spices I use in my Scarborough Fair stuffing). The cook time is for cooking the stuffing alone; if cooking in a bird, follow the recommendations for cooking the bird."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 10mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Yields: 4 quarts

ingredients

• 1 cup onion
• 1⁄4 cup shortening
• 2 quarts bread, cubes
• 1 cup broth
• 6 cups wild rice, cooked
• 1 cup celery
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 1⁄2 cup melted butter

directions

1. Melt the shortening and saute the onion.
2. Combine bread, broth, and rice, then add all other ingredients except for butter and blend well.
3. Pour melted butter over stuffing.
4. This makes enough stuffing for a 14-16 pound bird.
5. If not cooking in a bird, bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

This is going to be my stuffing recipe from here on out! LOVE it. I used fresh herbs from my garden, and for the bread I used some leftover homemade graham bread. Perfect for our tastes.

I made this stuffing, but I omitted the shortening and added a little bit of carrot. I used it to stuff a little roasted chicken I made for my boyfriend for dinner. It was so delicious!
