Mixed Grain Mushroom Casserole

Directions

Combine grains in a mixing bowl and set aside.

Pour the oil into a 2 to 3 qt. casserole which is safe for both stovetop and oven cooking, and place on medium heat. When hot, sauté onion and garlic until tender and translucent, about 5 to 6 mins.

Add the mixed grains and sauté for 1 min., stirring constantly.

Meanwhile melt butter or margarine (if using) in a separate pan on medium high heat.

When hot, add mushrooms and sauté 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 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℉ (180℃) F for 1 hr.
