Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 C Wild rice
1/2 C Pearl barley
1/2 C Brown rice
1/4 C Oil
1 Lg Onion -- thinly sliced
4 Garlic cloves -- chopped
4 Tb Unsalted butter or margarine
- OR- Oil
1/2 Lb Mushrooms -- thickly sliced
3 1/2 C Broth
1 T Crushed dried thyme
1/2 T Crushed dried oregano
Salt & pepper -- to taste

Combine grains in a mixing bowl and set aside. Pour the oil into a 2-3 qt.
casserole which is safe for both stovetop and oven cooking, and place on
med. heat. When hot , saute onion and garlic until tender and translucent,
about 5-6 mins. Add the mixed grains and saute for 1 min., stirring
constantly.
Meanwhile melt butter or margarine (if using) in a separate pan on med.
high heat. When hot , add mushrooms and saute quickly, stirring
frequently, until the shrooms are hot and have just absorbed the "butter"
(about 1
min.). Immediately remove from heat.
Add the broth, herbs, and mushrooms to the casserole with the onions and
grains, and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, cover
tightly (use aluminum foil between pot and cover if necessary for a good
seal), and bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hr.
