Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 12 ounces Cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ cup cooked white rice
  • ½ cup cooked wild rice
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 2 Tablespoons dried bread crumbs
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, try ¼ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt butter. Add mushrooms and cook stirring occasionally until the mushrooms are soft and lightly caramelized, and have released their liquid, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add chopped shallots, chopped celery, garlic, and thyme. Cook until the shallots are soft, about 5 minutes. Continue cooking over medium high heat until most of the liquid is evaporated.
  • Add the white rice, wild rice, chicken broth, and chopped green onions. Stir to combine.
  • Add the bread crumbs; stir to combine.
  • Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Set aside to cool completely if using for a stuffing. Otherwise, transfer to a casserole dish. Bake in a preheated 350° F oven for 30 minutes, or until thoroughly heated.
  • Yield: 6 servings.
