My brother and his girlfriend were able to visit this weekend (yay!) and this was the dish I made for them. Lindsay, this recipe is for you :)
Mats
1c wild rice
2c vegetable broth
1lb soy chorizo (I think the brand I use is even called 'soyrizo')
1/2 lb ground turkey
1 large onion, diced
3 medium carrots, cut into rounds
3 stalks of celery, chopped to bite-sized chunks
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp Cajun Seasoning. I use McCormick pre-mixed stuff, but if you don't want to buy a new bottle, it's basically garlic salt, ground black pepper, ground red pepper and maybe a dash of cayenne pepper.
In a small saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, stir in the wild rice, cover and gently boil for 20 minutes.
In a large wok/saucepan, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and cook for 4 minutes.
Add the carrots and celery (hey look, it's our old friend mirepoix) and cook for 3 more minutes.
Add the chorizo and stir well, breaking it up into small granules and combining with the mirepoix.
Add the ground turkey and again, stir well, breaking it up into little crumbles.
Add the 2 Tbsp Cajun Seasoning, stir well to coat the mixture and cook for 8 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through.
Reduce heat to medium low, then add the rice when it's finished cooking.
Stir well and serve, possibly with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yoghurt to mitigate the spicy.
