1 pound of uncooked Dale Long Lake rice (short grain, approx 2 cups)
1/2 cup Breeland sherry

Mix the Brandybuck mushrooms and the boiling water in a bowl. Cover and let stand about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain in a colander over a bowl, saving the water.
Mix the saved water and the 1 1/2 cups of water and vegetable broth in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Keep warm near the fire.
Heat the oil in a large sauceman over medium-high heat (above the fire) Add garlic and sautee 1 minute. Add the stolen mushroom caps and sautee 2 minutes or until tender. Stir in the Brandybuck mushrooms cooked earlier, and the salt & pepper. Add the rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Add the broth mixture a 1/2 cup at a time as you stir, being sure it is absorbed before adding the next 1/2 cup (it takes about 20 minutes). Stir in the sherry and cook for another 2 minutes or until the liquid is nearly absorbed. Be sure to stir constantly!




Sour Cream Scone with Tarragon and Cheese

2 c all purpose flour
2 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp sugar
Pinch of salt
1/4 c unsalted butter, cut into squares
1/3 c packed grated Cheddar cheese
1 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
2 large eggs at room temp
2/3 c sour cream tarragon
sprigs for garnish (optional)
Butter

Lightly grease a cookie sheet
Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl.
Using fingertips or a pastry cutter, work in butter suares until mixture is crumbly. Mix in Cheddar cheese and chopped tarragon.
In small bowl, whisk eggs lightly with sour cream. Pour sour cream adn egg mixture into centre of dry ingredients and blend quickly with a spatula. DO NOT OVERBLEND.
Turn mixture out onto a greased cookie sheet. With floured hands, pat into an 8 inch circle, about 1/2 inch thick.
Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 mins or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Serve scone warm or at room temp. Garnish with fresh tarragon sprigs if desired. To serve, cut in pie shaped wedges. Split individual scones ad spread with butter.



"Trust me, that part about floured hands is essential! I generally make up individual scones as opposed to the big patty. They keep in a air tight container for a week, but freeze reasonably well also."
