      Title: MIXED GRAIN MUSHROOM CASSEROLE
 Categories: Side dish, Main dish, Casseroles, Vegetarian
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
    1/2 c  Wild rice
    1/2 c  Pearl barley
    1/2 c  Brown rice
    1/4 c  Oil
      1 lg Onion; thinly sliced
      4    Garlic cloves; chopped
      4 tb Unsalted butter or margarine
           -OR- Oil
    1/2 lb Mushrooms; thickly sliced
  3 1/2 c  Broth
      1 ts Crushed dried thyme
    1/2 ts Crushed dried oregano
           Salt & pepper; to taste
 
  Combine grains in a mixing bowl and set aside. Pour the oil into a
  2-3 qt. casserole which is safe for both stovetop and oven cooking,
  and place on med. heat. When hot , saute onion and garlic until
  tender and translucent, about 5-6 mins. Add the mixed grains and
  saute for 1 min., stirring constantly.
  
  Meanwhile melt butter or margarine (if using) in a separate pan on
  med. high heat. When hot , add mushrooms and saute 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 onions
  and grains, and bring to a boil. 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 degrees F for 1 hr.
  
  NOTES: I use alot less oil (only as much as needed to keep things from
  sticking in my cast-iron dutch oven), add hot peppers and fresh herbs
  (rosemary is especially delicious; i dislike dried oregano so i use
  less or none), add soy sauce instead of salt, and saute the mushrooms
  first in the same pan (taking them out when done) so i dont have to
  wash two pans :^>. Frankly i can't see where they get 8 servings
  from, this lasts me maybe 3 meals....It's really a hearty dish, so
  save it for a cold day (some of us still have a few left, despite the
  advent of spring). Enjoy!
  
  (8 servings as a side dish, less as an entree)
