Chicken with wild rice is a savory main dish. Add vegetables, dried cranberries or pecans to vary the flavor and texture. (Adobe Stock)
Recipes may be for a complete meal (main dish, bread, side dish, salad and dessert) or for a theme (Halloween goodies, breads, desserts, casseroles, venison and so on).
These recipes are from the University of Minnesota Extension Recipe Box website at z.umn.edu/therecipebox.
Chicken Wild Rice Hotdish
Shortening or non-stick cooking spray
4 cups cooked chicken, chopped or one pound browned ground beef
4 cups cooked wild rice
1 10.5-oz. can low-sodium cream of mushroom soup
1 10.5-oz. can low-sodium chicken broth or water
1 small onion, chopped
Broccoli, carrots or other vegetables (optional)
Herbs for seasoning (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients and pour into a greased baking dish. Bake for 1 hour.
Griddle Fry Bread
1-1/2 cups white flour
1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 Tbsp. baking powder
1 pinch salt
1-1/2 cups warm water
1/4 cup canola oil plus extra for the pan
In a large bowl, mix the flours, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together well or use a fork. Add warm water and oil and mix just until blended. For firmer bread, mix on a floured flat surface about 10 times.
Let the bread rest for a minute and then spread out onto a lightly sprayed cookie sheet to 1 inch thickness. Poke holes in the dough using a fork.
Cook in a greased frying pan over medium heat, allowing about 15 minutes for each side. Use two lifters for easy turning.
This bread can also be baked in the oven on a greased baking sheet at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.
Apple Waldorf Salad
2 cups diced apples
1 cup diced celery
1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
6 oz. low-fat plain or vanilla yogurt
1 Tbsp. orange juice
Mix orange juice with yogurt. Toss apples, celery, raisins, and walnuts with the orange juice mixture.
Apple Cinnamon Bars
4 medium apples or 16 ounces of canned apples or applesauce
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup oats (uncooked)
1 cup shortening
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Put the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, brown sugar, and oats in a mixing bowl and stir together. Add the shortening to the bowl. Use two table knives to mix the ingredients and cut them into crumbs. Lightly grease the bottom and sides of the baking dish with a little bit of shortening.
Spread half of the crumb mixture in the greased baking dish. Core and slice the apples and put the apple slices into the baking dish.
Top the apples with the rest of the crumb mixture. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Cut into squares.
