59 wild rice recipes

Vegan unstuffed bell pepper soup with brown basmati rice, tomato paste, and loads of diced peppers in a savory tamari broth. All the flavors of stuffed peppers without the stuffing.

Quick, easy, and refreshingly delicious. I used Roma tomatoes, cored and finely chopped them. Used freshly seeded jalapeno peppers only. You don't need the store-bought usually over-salted salsa. This homemade version tastes great and much better for you :)

Curried deer (venison) stew with curry powder, tomato paste, raisins, grapes, and diced apple simmered for 90 minutes. A sweet-savory game curry that tames venison's wild flavor.

Green tomato and Granny Smith apple chutney with ginger, mustard seeds, and warm spices. A tangy, spiced preserve for using up end-of-season unripe tomatoes.

Easy Coney sauce: a smooth, no-bean meat sauce simmered with tomato, mustard, and a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. The classic Coney dog topping that turns a plain hot dog Detroit-style.

Savory Southwest corn muffins stuffed with diced ham, pepper jack cheese, green chiles, and red bell pepper. Hearty enough for a meal with a side salad.

Spicy blender salsa with canned tomatoes, green chilies, cilantro, green bell pepper, and garlic. No cooking required. Keeps in the fridge for 5 days.

Simplest vegan nachos: baked tortilla chips with white bean spread, tomato, peppers, and onion. DIY-style, crisp chips, and everyone gets the toppings they love.

Slow cooker black bean and potato soup with diced ham, jalapenos, cumin, oregano, thyme, and cloves in a beef broth base. Dump everything in the crockpot and let it cook all day.

Samak curry with white fish fillets braised in a spiced paste of dried lime, curry powder, nutmeg, and fresh herbs. A Middle Eastern-style curried fish ready in 35 minutes over rice.

Beau's notes: * There are no "jalapeno beans;" there are jalapeno peppers and pinto beans. I have two recipes, both of which are quite tref, but a Catholic should worry? But if you are hosting a Jewish person, smoked turkey will substitute most agreeably for the chazer called for in either recipe.]
