Vegetarian Mushroom and Wild Rice Casserole
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup wild rice
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 16 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of wild rice and 2 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Add 16 oz of sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 8 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly, and cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the cooked wild rice and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
- Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
