Wild Mushroom and Rice Timbales
Jan Smith
Timbales are metal molds used to shape rice and custard mixtures. Ramekins, glass custard cups, or even dry measuring cups make a fine substitute. Serve this side dish with roasted chicken, beef, or pork. It's also nice with salmon.
How to Make It
Step 1
Place porcini mushrooms in a small bowl; cover with 1 cup boiling water. Let stand 20 minutes or until soft. Drain mushrooms in a sieve over a bowl, reserving liquid.
Step 2
Place reserved mushroom liquid, 1 1/2 cups water, rice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 50 minutes or until rice is tender.
Step 3
While rice cooks, heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté 2 minutes. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt, portobello mushrooms, and button mushrooms; cook 5 minutes or until mushrooms are tender and liquid mostly evaporates, stirring frequently. Stir in remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, porcini mushrooms, and chopped thyme.
Step 4
Remove rice from heat; stir in mushroom mixture, cheese, and pepper.
Step 5
Coat 4 timbales or 4 (6-ounce) ramekins with cooking spray. Pack about 1 cup rice mixture into each timbale; invert onto plates. Garnish with thyme, if desired.

Easy & Tasty...My family isn't formal enough to use the ramekin for presentation purposes, but my 12 yr old & husband went back for 2nds! That is a sure sign!

Easy to make and quite good. I used dried thyme, but I would suggest using fresh. Also, I would chop the button mushrooms the same size as the portobello. I had bought a quick cooking rice blend by mistake and I had a little wild rice left over from another recipe, so I cooked the wild rice the full 50 mins and threw in the quick cooking rice during the last 15 min. The texture came out to be perfect. Served them with beef tenderloin steaks with port reduction and blue cheese, and asparagus. I will definately make them again.

Excellent! Used dried chantarelles and served right out of the pan alongside baked tilapia and Two-Cheese Squash Casserole.
