Categories: Wild rice, *web/email, Casserole, Mushrooms
Yield: 6 servings

3 Portabella mushrooms; or
-more, or 6 large white
-mushrooms, cleaned and
-stemmed
1 tb Olive oil
3 Shallots; minced

1 c Wild rice

Wild rice takes longer to cook than true rice. This dish can be baked ahead
and reheated at serving time.

1. Turn on the broiler; line a baking sheet with foil. Place the mushrooms,
stem side down, on the baking sheet. Broil until lightly browned, about 4
minutes. Remove and let cool slightly, then dice; transfer to a plate.

2. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan, heat
the oil. Saute the shallots until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the
broth, the mushrooms with any juices, rice, thyme, pepper and bay leaf.
Transfer to a 1-quart casserole. Cover and bake until the liquid is
absorbed and the rice is tender but still slightly chewy, about 1 hour or
more. Remove, discard the bay leaf and serve.
