Ingredients
- 2 Tbs. olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 12 oz. ground soy "beef"
- 4 oz. chopped celery
- 4 oz. mushrooms, diced
- 1 cup (13.5 oz.) artichoke hearts, well drained and chopped
- 8 oz. precooked wild rice
- 8 oz. shredded soy cheese, preferably mozzarella flavored
Preparation
Heat oil in a large skillet, and sauté onion for about 5 minutes, or until golden. Add ground soy “beef,” celery, mushrooms and artichoke hearts, and sauté for another 5 minutes.
Stir in wild rice, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until rice is thoroughly heated. Add salt and pepper, hot pepper sauce if using, and soy cheese, and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes, or until cheese melts. Remove from heat, and serve.
Wine Suggestions
This dish has a lot of flavor and a lot of texture to it. A light red wine would be the best match, either a pinot noir, perhaps La Crèma or King Estate Pinot Noir from Oregon. A bolder option that would also go well is the Columbia Crest Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon blend from Washington state—it is light but full of the fruity flavors of berry and currant.
