Casserole Mushrooms

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 portabella mushrooms -- or more
or 6 large white mushrooms -- cleaned and stemmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 shallots -- minced
2 3/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
or beef broth
1 cup wild rice
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
or rosemary leaves -- crumbled
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 bay leaf

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.
