(22,772 posts)My dish is a local Minnesota favorite - the creamy wild rice casserole or as we call it - "hot dish" - with toasted almonds (or water chestnuts for crunch), sage, thyme, caramelized onions, celery, garlic, dry sherry (optional), and for more starch and color - corn (optional). I cheat and use Imagine's potato-leek soup as the binder instead of eggs and flour or "cream of mushroom" soup. I"m not a vegan so, I add parmesan and/or smoked gouda -whichever I have on hand.
I was thinking about this recipe too, but I don't have enough pearl onions. I think I'd substitute cranberry "craisins" instead of raisins.
