Wild Rice Mushroom Bake Recipe

  Rice

Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked wild rice
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup minced onion
1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
20 ounces chicken broth (I use Swanson's)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, crumbled

Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Rinse rice in a strainer under running water or in a bowl of water; drain. Combine all ingredients in a 2-quart casserole. Bake, covered, 75 minutes. Remove cover, stir. Continue baking until rice is tender (about 15 minutes longer). Let stand 5 or 10 minutes for rice to absorb all liquid. ( To prepare ahead, bake in microwavable casserole and refrigerate, covered. Microwave on high covered, until casserole is hot (7 to 8 minutes),stirring once.
10 (1/2 cup) servings.
I like to use crimini mushrooms and saute the mushrooms and onion in butter for a few minutes before adding. I have also added slivered almonds that have been sauteed in butter.
